Over the weekend of April 25 and 26 the Bulgarian web-community met for its P2P conference in Veliko Turnovo. Topics of the two days of presentations included: latest developments in web technologies, mobile marketing, blogs as media and Web 2.0 projects and ideas. With the latter category, the Ozone award, sponsored by blogtronix.com, was presented to one of 10 finalists selected by web users. The second prize, an MP3 player, went to Client.bg and the first prize, a notebook, was given to Svejo.net.

Don't fret Tony: you're no princess, no one will be digging your boring ass up.
We learn so much about our predecessors and refine our knowledge about how they lived when we study their physical and cultural remains. This princess' tomb and her name was forgotten; now she re-emerges from history as a real person. I could only hope that one day the discovery of my bones might teach my descendants something about their ancient past!
Relax Folks

Yeah!.. and what about all those disections; where deseases have been cured because of greater understanding of anatomy, shameful!

Hi Tony: Apparently you've never been homeless. Concern for disposal of the dead is always a cultural prejudice. Ones identity is assumed to persist with the remains, so some tribes ate their dead to keep them relevant. Preservation is only temporary though, even when an organism becomes fossilized, minerals replace tissue, and the original identity is replaced with an impression, so that identity and purpose remains solely with the perceiver. It's good to honor the dead, but their form is irrelevant. By studying them we can still learn from things they abandoned.

What is the difference between opening graves, restoring artifacts and exhibiting them in museums and simple grave robbing. I shudder to think that my possesions will one day be taken from my dead body disrespectfully and exhibited. You have no shame people!
