After a bit of tech trading I'm about on par with everyone else.

Looks like a good start!

Two suggestions, not about the game.
1) I would reccomend saving your pictures as .jpg format. PNG is high quality but it makes the files pretty big and they take a while to load on slow computers (like mine :))
2) The pictures are really tiny. I'm not sure why, but if you aren't already you should copy the url of your picture and paste it in between xxx tags.

I agree with the picture thing. Don't make them a tag, just host them.

Nothing interesting has happened, but the Russina seem to be pulling away. They are ahead of me by at least 2 techs.

Suggest you build cities closer together. That's a lot of real estate that you're not going be able to use for a long time, if ever.

Otherwise, you seem to be handling this one pretty well.
