Sometimes I catch myself thinking about how different life must have been, even 25 years ago, around the time I was born. It’s amazing to think how gloriously interconnected the world is now. How else could I, in one day, talk over an interview prospect over the phone with Teach For America, take my boss to the airport, listen to Dick Cheney’s BYU commencement speech and read Pete Ashdown’s alternative one, translate part of a curriculum, take a training on New York state child abuse laws, trade favorite songs with a dear friend, watch this Wednesday’s episode of Lost, start downloading the complete audio to BYU’s alternative commencement and still also take a nice long bike ride around town and enjoy this country on the other side of the world that I’ve grown to love so much? All I can say is, the internet’s awesome, and the world’s a much smaller place.

I'm a big fan of the global village, too, especially when it helps me amazing music from all over the world, sent by one of my favorite folk. Global village: much more helpful than Skypeland...definitely don't want to invade that one.
--helps me "hear," I mean. Brevity is nice, but comprehension's even better. :)
Pshaw. If brevity had any integrity, it would cut a good 3 letters of itself. "Brev" works fine for me, thank you.
