Hi Everyone,<br><br>Prof. Morelli asked me to forward this: Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia will be speaking at University of Hartford next Wednesday (11/15) at 7:30. He's a pretty amazing guy - he's basically responsible for creating probably the most extensive encyclopedia ever written and he has a lot of far-reaching ideas on the future of information. Its free, but you have to call the UHa box office for tickets.
