I landed today in Falls Church, VA, at the invite of George Brett, a long time internet colleague who I finally met for the first time in February at the EDUCAUSE ELI conference. He urged me to visit him, so I did– I am. He and his wife and daughter offered me the same open warm hospitality I have gotten everywhere on the trip.

After a fabulous pork medallion dinner, I got to show off the StoryBox but the real prize was having George do his first ds106 radio show.

He had fun with his old time music he played via his iPad:

He was part of the internet scene going back to the early 1980s, and was around many of the early wizards — as he quipped:

I shoveled tar for Al Gore

It was a great conversation of past, present, and future technology, but I must admit being a bit tired to summarize, so here is the archive.
