Hi Mom,
Still in catch up mode, but this follows on the Net Neutrality stuff from the other day.
I haven't even watched the whole video, so this falls into the "I am putting this here so I remember to watch it" category. Not sure if that's an item that ever gets crossed out of the to-do list.
I had the pleasure of meeting Cory at Penguincon 2017. He's a great speaker. That link goes to one of my three Penguincon posts. I never did the fourth that I had planned so my Penguincon reporting remains incomplete.
Enjoy.

“The Internet’s broken and that’s bad news, because everything we do today involves the Internet and everything we’ll do tomorrow will require it. But governments and corporations see the net, variously, as a perfect surveillance tool, a perfect pornography distribution tool, or a perfect video on demand tool—not as the nervous system of the 21st century. Time’s running out. Architecture is politics. The changes we’re making to the net today will prefigure the future our children and their children will thrive in—or suffer under.”
—Cory Doctorow
ConveyUX is pleased to feature author and activist Cory Doctorow to close out our 2017 event. Cory’s body work includes fascinating science fiction and engaging non-fiction about the relationship between society and technology. His most recent book is Information Doesn’t Want to be Free: Laws for the Internet Age. Cory will delve into some of the issues expressed in that book and talk about issues that affect all of us now and in the future. Cory will be on hand for Q&A and a post-session book signing.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
