Consolidating Yesterday To Tell A More Connected Story Today.

I attended this yesterday …. a 1 day (actually closer to two days squeezed into one day ) event feauturing Tim Berners Lee, Vince Cerf, Professor Wendy Hall and a veritable host of others.

Yes - another long one, but now I can say that I have met a congressman!


The fires in Butte County are 150 miles away…. just for perspective.


On the ground support still rocking on #election day #knockharder
