A friend sent this to me... MODERN TIMES is a good bookstore! They've got
lots 'o tech stuff, like internet info... definitely worth checking out.
Anyways, the firs tone (Feb) was "Navigating the Internet: a crash
course" by Eric Theise. How-to email, gopher, etc. I didn't know about
it in time.
I think this could be a good crowd to bring up cypherpunk issues with a
more social, less hardcore tech perspective... time to stop preaching to
the choir! (It's taken a while to find the door leading out of the
choir... :-)

Here's the press release for show number 2:
Jacking In: A Monthly Series on Cyberspace Literacy presents
LAW AND DISORDER ON THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER
Computer and telecommunications technologies hold great promise for
individuals and society. Increased access to information can enhance
transborder commerce, informed political participation, community
development, and public health, education, and safety.
But, between activities of questionable legality and the countermeasures
taken by private parties and law enforcement officials, these
technologies are raising fundamental questions about our notions of
privacy, property, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly.
Join us for a evening of provocative readings and presentations by:
- Bruce Sterling, journalist, editor, and author of *The Hacker
Crackdown*, *Islands in the Net*, *Schismatrix*, and co-author (with
William Gibson) of *The Difference Engine*
- Mike Godwin, General Counsel, Electronic Frontier Foundation, leading
advocate for extending Constitutional protections to cyberspace
- John Draper (a.k.a. Cap'n Crunch), wanted by the FBI for phone
cracking in the '60s, working to promote data encryption in the '90s
- Mitch Ratcliffe, Editor at Large, MacWEEK, and cofounder of This!Group, a
northern California organization working to publicize the benefits and
dangers of a highly-networked information society
- Bruce Koball, General Chair, Third Conference on Computers, Freedom
and Privacy, being held March 9-12, San Francisco Airport Marriott
Sunday, March 7th, 7 pm
