I just learned that Sandy Fraser, a pioneer in networking (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_…) and the former head of AT&T Labs Research, died last week.

Visionary keynotes are hard to make good. They often either seem like second-rate science fiction, with a particular aesthetic of trailing highlights, or they repeat the same buzzwords. AR! ML! Blockchain! Adding references to SDGs doesn't make a 6G keynote any better.

Expansive keynotes (there must be a better term...) expand the view of a sub-discipline, e.g., by connecting the core or tools of a research area to new applications or techniques. They can often be inspiring, but this is getting harder since CS is now embedded everywhere.

I'm omitting the pseudo-keynote: "Here's my extended research talk combining my last three papers." I'm sure there are luminaries in the field where this type of talk holds the rapt attention of the audience. I always admire the self-confidence of these speakers.

(Almost) every conference has a keynote - or a bunch. We usually think about the speaker, not what we want from a keynote: retrospective, visionary or expansive.

I like retrospective keynotes, where researchers or industry veterans share their perspective on a maturing sub-field or idea. What worked? What seemed like a good idea at the time, but wasn't? What were the surprises? Anything worth revisiting?

And here's the gigabit version - still ridiculous, but less so.

Verizon FiOS has weird pricing - gigabit is cheaper than 300 Mb/s, and both are prices that are way above industry norms, including $150 upgrade pricing. Their front page advertises $39 for 300 Mbps. Mistake or misleading?

The National E-Mail White Pages did not turn out to be a long-term business success (1989).

Our county park has EV chargers - you can recharge while your car does. (Not much use, unfortunately, even though it's 5 min to I-95.)
