Happy New Year

Posted by: Byron Holland

In my last posting I highlighted some of the issues I think will be hot for 2010.  A friend and colleague, Mathieu Weill, reminded me of a good one that I did not cover: “It is the Internet, so expect the unexpected!”  I probably should have made that my number one choice.
