Traveling from Italy to China four hundred years ago was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure difficult to duplicate today. We aren't surprised that trailblazer Matteo Ricci never returned home. People today complain about how hard computers are to use, but at least you can always return home. In most cases, you never leave it.

By default, number 80 is the port number for a Web server. Port 80, then, is your connection to the outside world. From Ricci Street's safe harbor, Matteo welcomes you to blaze your own trails, to discover languages, histories, and cultures of the past, of today, and especially of the emerging networked world. This harbor has six places for you to set out from:

Customhouse logo Charthouse logo Boardwalk logo

concepts and buzzwords

trends and currents

people and communities


Lighthouse logo Shoreline logo Docks logo

information and research

issues and policies

systems and processes
