Later 
| | It's pushing 1am and I'm in a bathroom of a house in Morgan Hill, hooked to the net through a wifi box dialing up. |
| | Been having a great time yesterday at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, which is at a beautiful park in the middle of town. It rained a lot, but it wasn't too bad. We had a tentlike shelter and he kids didn't care. Walked in circles all day for a good cause, and ate piles of food. |
| | My shift is at 8am, so I need some sleep. After that we drive back to Santa Barbara. So this will be it until then. |
Like Vint says
| | I've often said that the Internet's success owes to three ideals (not facts — ideals): 1) Nobody owns it; 2) Everybody can use it; and 3) Everybody can improve it. |
| | Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if it isn't affordable by all that wish to partake of its services, so we must dedicate ourselves to making the Internet as affordable as other infrastructures so critical to our well-being. While we follow Moore's Law to reduce the cost of Internet-enabling equipment, let us also seek to stimulate regulatory policies that take advantage of the power of competition to reduce costs. |
| | Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if Governments restrict access to it, so we must dedicate ourselves to keeping the network unrestricted, unfettered and unregulated. We must have the freedom to speak and the freedom to hear. |
| | Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if it cannot keep up with the explosive demand for its services, so we must dedicate ourselves to continuing its technological evolution and development of the technical standards the lie at the heart of the Internet revolution.... |
| | Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if legislation around the world creates a thicket of incompatible laws that hinder the growth of electronic commerce, stymie the protection of intellectual property, and stifle freedom of expression and the development of market economies. Let us dedicate ourselves to the creation of a global legal framework in which laws work across national boundaries to reinforce the upward spiral of value that the Internet is capable of creating. |
