I Love the Internet

Thanks Vint. 

Everyday I find the internet more valuable. I found out about todays plane crash through an email chain I share with about a dozen of my friends. It even beat twitter. But not by much. I just found an amazing set of mashups of Jay-Z and Radiohead (jaydiohead.com - its amazing). My brother sent me the link. A skype chat with our development team led me to Girl Talk. I’d heard of him through twitter, but never checked it out. Great find. I also found a sick new band (Pinback) trying out last.fm. Although Last.fm kind of bothers me because it limits how many times I can listen to a song, which is kind of annoying. 

I was stuck in LaGaurdia yesterday for several hours waiting on a very similar flight to NC to the US Air flight that landed in the Hudson this afternoon. It is so amazing that everyone survived, truly heroes walk among us everywhere and it really goes to show how great we are when we come together.  I’m simply taking a few moments to reflect on our society tonight. It has become a place where people are instantly able to connect, across vast distances or across town. Some people understand the added value the internet brings to our lives, and some don’t. But really thats ok, because when it comes down to it, life is really about people. 

As much as I love the internet, I love people alot more. Today was a great day for people.
