Also, an extended conversation with Tina Dam, Program Director for Internationalized Domain Names at ICANN. We’ll also hear about an effort to barcode mosquitos, and about some research that says cheap sneakers are as good, maybe even better, than expensive ones. And we’ll end…with no tech at all, but rather some music from Sheffield’s Richard Hawley. And, yes — the outtakes at the beginning were left there on purpose. Sue us for having some fun.
