Here's a video snippet from tonight's welcoming ceremony by the host country. It's big....about 20 megabytes....and only a minute in length. It's the video capture from my digital still camera. Worth watching though.

On her weblog, ICANN Board member Susan Crawford observes: "Although it was hard to see over all the heads of the people in front of me, I believe that Vint Cerf participated this evening in some kind of warrior ritual involving (not by him) shouting, stamping, and waving spears.  Gentlemanly as always, he was very game."

From what I understand, video capture of public events like this is illegal in Bulgaria.
