Volcano 1, Internet 0.01

The internet failed the volcano crisis, reports Weinberger, but my own experience was much better. It's true, Weinberger couldn't rebook online. Not that rebooking would have helped anyways. In my case, because I was tracking my flight online, I knew before everyone else that it had been cancelled, and so was first in line at the airport to book a flight back home. Once home, I've kept up with the crisis online, and have worked with the conference organizers to provide an online alternative to my in-person keynote scheduled to take place in Finland. So, yeah, pretty much anything works better than airline online booking. What else is new? But as for the rest of it, the internet is performing magnificently.
