Late for my talk tonight in Boston

Well, I've just had my second flight cancellation from London-Boston in 24 hours, and my new flight doesn't land until 5PM. As many of you know, I'm scheduled to be speaking at MIT's Bartos Theater at 5PM, which means I'm going to be late. Someone's picking me up at the airport and I'm going to sit as far forward on the plane as I can, so with any luck I won't be too late. Luckily, we've got a great big block of time booked for my talk -- 5PM-7PM with a subsequent reception until 9PM, so with any luck you'll be able to entertain yourselves for a bit until I get there. Just cross your fingers and hope for short lines at the Department of Homeland Security checkpoint.

   Great talk Cory! I really loved our discussion on Libraries as my fiancee is a librarian and very concerned about where technology is moving and about the possibility of becoming obsolete.

   Thanks for signing my book! As great as digital book are I don't see digital signatures being cooler then handing the book over to the real author anytime soon. Though I do greatly look forward to linking to you with the XFN rel tag MET.

   enjoy your time in Boston!

   Librarians obsolete? I don't think so.

   With Digital Rights Molestation, copyright and public domain abuses perpetuated by big business, and the transistion to non-perminent media (CDs, online storage, etc), knowledge is doomed to obsolescence unless the worlds librarians prevent it.
