Why This Internet Thing is Just Starting

So I'm on the 27th floor of a hotel in downtown Montreal, wrapping up early because I have a flight back to Moncton this evening, and outside my window I see nothing but white. The Air Canada website says my flight is on time, which is no doubt a hopeful fabrication. Today's newsletter is a mixture of hope and fear: awe at the ongoing technological revolution described in this article, a revolution that is sweeping through the internet as we watch - podcasts, vidcasts, Skype recording, and more; and disquiet at the way these new technologies are being subverted as a means through which the powerful can exert greater influence, greater control. Today I'll opt for hope - but it's easy to be engulfed in the snowstorm, isn't it?CRLF
Oh, and this just in: "I just heard from the PSC and you received a 'B' in your oral interaction test. You now meet all your language levels." Yes folks, I passed my test (the reason for my visit to Montreal). Woo hoo! I am now officially bilingual. :) :) :)
