Congratulations! You Are Time's Person of the Year

Just don't expect a prize :) This has been all over the Web, but I think it is still cool. And it's Christmas time, so I don't exactly expect to stay o n top of this blog while I am relaxing on vacation. Anyway, due to the growth or user input based websites like YouTube and Wikipedia, Time magazine has decided to name the entire world person of the year.

Of course, this is due to the growth of the Web2.0 revolution, which I have been heavily focusing on in this blog. This is great news for Ed Tech folks like me, because the more recognition online tools get, the more development there will be on that front. I read about a YouTube like site for artists the other day. I need to dig that one out. Stuff like this is really exciting for the future of Online Education.

Of course, I say I will be taking a break for Christmas, but who knows? So much geeky news to report. A new Transformers movie trailer to drool over, cool new websites popping up every where, and I finally got to see an episode of Battlestar Gallactica this weekend. Yes, I am the only geek in the world without cable. So I had to wait until I was out of town in a hotel to see it. But, the upside is that, while flipping through cable channels looking for something to watch, I finally found a Star Trek series that my wife actually likes (Voyager).
