A reader of my site, a Mr. Amit ‘Netahoy’ Agarwal, posted a very positive comment on my Intro entry in my India sub-blog. He reported that the city government of Delhi has taken steps to improve the air quality of Delhi. I am very pleased at this news. I have many fond memories of my visit to that city but the air quality was not one. I hope to return someday with my girlfirend (wife?) in tow. It’s a very different place with many pleasant surprises at every turn. Please take a look at the photos and decide on your own holiday there. Thank you Amit.

Something over at Wired caught my eye today. Some organization that’s been given the responsibility to govern web standards, ICANN, has voted to remove the members of the board that where elected by the public.????? Those elected officails where put into place to make the organization accountable to the public. Can we officially say the king has no clothes yet. It seems to me that web standards have some very big money behind it and ICANN is in the pockets of those big companies. If you or I have a complaint about those standards, who is accountable?
