Another WOW for the arrival of Google to Argentina:: They gave a free conference and brought Vinton Cerf, (Vint) no less!!!
He is currently the Vice President ("& Chief Internet Evangelist") of Google. Beyond that already terrific fact, there´s some more crucial data about who Vint Cerf is: He, among other accomplishments, is the co-author of the protocol TCP/IP thanks to which computers speak between themselves on a net. Simply put, he is one of the Fathers (in capital letters) of the Internet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinton_Cerf
As honored and thrilled I could be to have him in my country and being able to attend the conference at UBA (University of Buenos Aires) where I study, I was happily surprised for the talk itself he gave. 2 hours complete, laughing every 3 miutes about something he said or a story he had to tell. =) What a great speaker and such a warm person. I fainted when I could make him a question (On the Semantic Web and what were his thoughts about developing it before scientists woud get to understand better how the brain works in order to develop a respectable Artificial intelligence… He seemed very interested in it, yay!)
I recorded all and uploaded it finally to Google Video!!

I felt the same as with Eric Schimdt… total awe to share the room with him. Thanks Google. *grin*
And talking brains, internet and connections… here two links to articles I came across with unexpectedly and worth their length:

On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.

There was a flickr user that got a lot of people’s attention in recent months, called Ramona Dixon. Recently it has become apparent that she was a fabrication. At the end her creator claimed that "Ramona" was undergoing surgery for a brain tumour, which was very upsetting for many people who thought they knew her. Then she, and her apparent girlfriend, disappeared.
This New Yorker cartoon, literally from the dawn of the Internet, says it all…
