Dear friends,

As a follow-up  from the last NIPPS (National Intellectual Property Policy and Strategy) National Forum held June 17 organized by The Third World Network, there will be a Kuro-Kuro (small-group discussion) to those who are interested, on the Digital Workplace, 23 September, 2pm, at TWN/Tebtebba office, Rm 333, Eagle Court Condominium, 26 Matalino Street, Quezon City.

I will introduce the issues and initiate discussion on copyright and its effects on our use of digital technologies, and hope that people can also share their experiences and concerns on “the digital workplace.”

In that meeting, we will also be discussing the Statement on NIPPS, the draft is now available at the “Kuro’t Palaisipan” website http://www.korakora.org/kuro- I have also archived there the past Kuro meetings (in Manila, GenSan and Davao).

I would also be more than happy to discuss any work-related or personal issues regarding the ethics of technology use (whether for advocacy, personal purpose, business, etc).. If we can all throw in issues we’d like to take up in advance, all the better so I can prepare - just let me know thru .

Hopefully, we may also be able to discuss “An alternative primer on national and international copyright law in the global South: eighteen questions and answers” by Alan Story. Alan is chairperson of the CopySouth Research Group and Network and he has written an excellent Primer on Copyright Law, unmasking the dangers (economic and social) of the copyright regime as a one-size-fits-all formula for development in the global south.

Please email Elpidio Peria if you are coming, so snacks can be reserved.

Best wishes,
Fatima

I wanted to write something about looking after myself again, but it won’t …

I just wanted to say -

I still don’t understand it today, just as I didn’t understand it four years ago when someone told me that I shouldn’t marginalize myself. I supposed then that the remark came out of my post-colonial ramblings, or perhaps my more personal whining. But just a few months later I self-psychologized that perhaps I was asking for help without really knowing it.

At that time my world was - on the outside - a broad exciting one, but from the inside it was really tiny, in effect, a prison. The memory of misery of that time still make me cry and the emotional pain still make me shake in my sleep.

- The female principle is a foolish one, verging on self-destruction, but only in an uncaring unbalanced world.

This is probably the hundredth time, but I’ve just completely re-designed my Crochetology.net website.

At the moment I am still putting texts and photos in it, but I think it is a much better website now. I’ve also re-written much of the previous texts I’ve done, this time, presenting the crocheted objects as solutions or experiments to a given problem.

This way, the website reflects much more closely my own method of working.

There are three categories on the website:
