OK, here we go.  First, to the Irish Sea to hear about a new tidal turbine technology.  Then, we’ll examine the recent hacking of some Darfur-related websites.  Could the Chinese be involved?  Then, to the Iranian city of Qom to hear about the digitization of Muslim scholarship there.  We’ll follow that with a report on a new old-school campaign to raise awareness of an imprisoned Egyptian blogger.  And we’ll end in Barcelona with a report on the birth of a new instrument.
