Speeches

I give speeches both locally and across the country. My speeches focus on newspapers, the Internet and online communities. 

When I was at Sunline, I and Sunline Assistant Internet Editor Ed Scott regularly gave free classes to the public, teaching people both simple and advanced topics about the Internet. We taught 10,000 people in 1996; 20,000 people in 1997 and another 20,000 in 1998.

I have started keeping a record of all the speeches I have given outside of the local area. Here is a list of those speeches, with the latest and upcoming ones listed first:
