A Nice Interactive Map of Visited Countries (That Doesn’t Require a Login or Tracking)
Recently a friend on a social network posted a map of the countries where he’d traveled. Being someone who loves maps, I had to check it out. Created by the people at Amcharts, presumably to showcase what their Javascript libraries could do, what *I* like about it is something very simple: Using the map doesn’t require me to login or deal with any tracking info. All that is required is to add the country codes on to the URL. Here’s what I mean – this is my list of visited countries (as of August 2016): https://www.amcharts.com/visited_countries/#AT,BE,BG,CH,CZ,DE,DK,FI,FR,GB,IE,IT,ME,NL,PL,UA,RU,CA,CR,GL,MX,US,AR,BR,CO,DJ,EG,MA,ZA,CN,IN,SG You can see there…

Connecting The Unconnected: The Story of a Visit to a School in Agua Azul, Mexico
How do you bring the “Internet” to a remote village in Mexico that doesn’t even have phone service? On June 20, 2016, we set out to understand that question. It was the day before the start of the OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Digital Economy in Cancun and our ISOC Mexico Chapter arranged for this visit.
Our group was small: Internet Society President & CEO Kathy Brown, Regional Bureau Director for Latin America Sebastián Bellagamba, Alejandro Pisanty of the ISOC Mexico Chapter and myself.

Starting To Write On PacketPushers.net
Because clearly I don’t have enough places to write, I’ve decided to start writing over on PacketPushers.net. You can find my first post on my profile page there. I’ve long been a fan and listener to the excellent PacketPushers podcasts. If you are into networking of any type their shows are quite educational and enjoyable. (See the most recent shows in the right sidebar of packetpushers.net.) Last year Russ White encouraged me to consider writing on Packet Pushers and connected me to the folks there to be set up as an author. They gave me an account… but then I’ve…

What […]
