Gikii in Amsterdam last week was a blast!

Together with Peter van de Waerdt, I explored the right to be forgotten using The Silence from Doctor Who as a metaphor... which meant wearing a mask at an academic conference. Looking forward to seeing everyone next year in Edinburgh.

Discussing experiences with the recent strikes in higher education in the Netherlands with a colleague and it's Friday afternoon and things may have gotten a little bit out of control .

On the train back from an interesting visit with our tech law LLM students to the Meta offices in Amsterdam.

Students worked on varied real-world cases, and asked (and got answer to) some critical questions. Lots to chew on for our students!

I was browsing through my partner's grandmother's bookcases. "Oh, you can take any book you want, I've read them all anyway."

I chose Death of a Salesman. It turns out it's a signed first edition!

She had no idea; she bought it secondhand just outside NYC in the 1950s.

Prepping for tomorrow's 'Computer Science 101 for lawyers' class. Will be discussing Von Neumann architecture; picture aptly summarizes 90% of the material.
