It makes sense. With the web the power is placed with the individual. And the mind set is different because of the web. And maybe because it is different, a contrarian attitude exists. With new power comes new responsibility. You could make a argument for the freedom of the web and no ownership on the web. That it is a collaboration of collective endeavors. Like the first spreadsheet; visicalc. The creator gave it away. This is just conjecture. But you could say that all the benefits of our industrialized, technological world has been a collection of efforts by individuals past and present. And the culmination of all the efforts benefit everyone who uses or invents more technology. And that is there is not one owner or author or creator. So it makes sense that people may want credit, but don't feel that they own or should own the fruits of their labor. We each have our own gifts that we cannot share, but we can share the fruits which are begotten with said gifts. It make sense.

Run, Run Fast as you can!

Saw Bix for the first time. Tara and Andrew flew out from Boston to participate. We had a very short and very terrific 4 days with our newlyweds. By the way, happy 1st anniversary on August 1st. A little more about Bix. It rained the whole time. I think that it probably lost some of its glitz. Not as many costumed runners as I had imagined. But it was a better day for the runners. A little cooler because of the rain. It also thundered and lightening up to the starting gun. One huge crack of thunder right after the singing of the National Anthem. Tara and Andrew finished well. I didn't ask them if they thought they would run it again. Hopefully they will.

Visiting DC

My son Tyler is in DC this summer for an internship. We visited him last weekend. This was not my first visit to DC. It was my second. There is alot to see in DC and everytime or both times I have been there, it seems a bit overwhelming. So much to see. And hot. So very hot. We stayed at a great hotel; the Washington Plaza on Thomas Circle. Great out door pool. And great location. In the middle of the city. Walking distance to the Mall, etc. Great restaurants and great pubs. One pub worth mentioning is the Brickskeller. Over one thousand different beers from all over the world. It could not have been better. Tyler found a beer that he had in Buenos Aires. Quilmes. Right there in DC. What a great city.
