The agile and perennial-nodes-in-the-network team of Jonathan Askin and Jeff Pulver have put together Peripheral Visionaries for November 10.  If you're a student of mine who wants to go to the conference, let me know.  It's in DC, but there are trains.  And Jeff is flying in from Seattle some band named Herding Cats that you might like.  Schedule is here.

I'm on the academic panel that will discuss important regulatory issues intently, intelligently, and earnestly from 4:30-6pm.  Sure, the bar may be open then, but (of course) no one will want to miss our session.

Seriously, this is a well-timed and important conference.  I feel very privileged to be included.  See you there.
