1. Let's get started with #6 right now. ;->
2. One of my colleagues at UserLand, Jake Savin, said on his weblog: "If we're too lazy, numb, frightened, or self-censored to ask the important questions and share what we learn with each other, we might as well sign over what's left of our civil rights right now. It will be a lot easier to lose them, than it will be to get them back."
3. Amen to that. Properly invested, the money and minds of Silicon Valley are perfectly aligned with the freedom the Internet offers. The idealistic story of the mid-90s was the correct one; the dotcom model, a detour. In the tech industry we make tools for artists, thinkers, journalists, academics, marketers, engineers, lawyers, to create and communicate.
4. That's all we do. When we try to do more, we get lost. Let's find our way home.
5. Viewed another way, in the nineties we built a great global network. Our next challenge is to use it.

7. PS: Alan Reiter has an excellent weblog devoted to wireless weblogs at conferences.
