creative commons workshop in hong kong!

i love CC. i use it. i blog about it. i read lessig's books. i bought cc stickers. i participated in the CC schwag contest. i subscribed to the cc-hk mailing list. and i soon labelled myself as a "hong kong fan of CC". and of course this CC workshop - the first of its kind in hong kong - is not to be missed!

just when i thought i'd just sit there with a CC shirt, and support the event merely by showing up, one of the organizers, Ben, came over and asked if i could take some photos for the event! heheee :) i immediately handed him a moo card :)

met a new friend, rob, a CC devotee, now a hku law masters student who graduated from harvard. he's working with alice lee (my oxford moot coach and professor back in law school) and the rest of the legal team to localise CC for hong kong. woot!

had a nice chat with rob, alice, jacky and some random people during the break. we talked about moo cards, startup schwag, flickr API, facebook, and where i got my CC shirt. 直情食住我個飯!!! =D =D

it surprised me that the girl who sat next to me knew nothing about the creative commons. she came on her own initiative, not because her university teachers told her to. the organizers should be happy :) and i'm sure the workshop did not disappoint her, thanks to the hard work of the organizing team =)

went to 踩場 at the Canon expo afterwards, carrying my Nikon!!!!!
i did contemplate the risk of being killed by some crazy canon fanboy, but thank goodness it did not happen...
