The Dan York Report

Final thoughts from London: meeting Neville Hobson, great activity at IETF ... and stumbling upon a *great* teleprompter app for an iPad...

Today I made a choice that was extremely unusual for me that reflects my newer attitude toward my health...

There are always people smarter than you... and being around those people can be a great experience in which you learn much. In this episode I talk about how the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meetings are places where this happens for me...

How can we best protect the Domain Name System (DNS) against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks? There's a new report from ICANN's SSAC on this issue: http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2014/02/ssac-issues-new-report-on-ddos-attacks-against-dns/

Today I reflect on the power of sites like Hacker News and Reddit to drive a large amount of attention to an article or other piece of content. I discovered today that a post I wrote last week: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140219_anyone_who_still_thinks_ipv6_wont_happen_isnt_watching_measurems/ wound up on both HN and Reddit and subsequently has jumped to receive a high number of views: https:/...

Tonight my thoughts are with all the folks in Kiev and throughout the Ukraine as they make their way through some very turbulent times... (More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidan )

Today I had one of those moments when you realize how much the Internet has changed everything...

Canadians have a great screw: the Robertson or "square drive" head. When living in Canada we discovered how superior the Robertson screw is from the Phillips screw we use in the USA - and I've since used these screws in all my building projects. However, I'm running out of my stash... and I can't seem to find any sources locally. I was almost thinking I would have to make a run to Canada sometime...

I was greatly amused to find myself on the front page of the Sports section of our local paper, the Keene Sentinel, with a great article about our efforts to bring the sport of curling to Keene and the greater Monadnock region. Here's the article: http://www.sentinelsource.com/sports/local_sports/a-place-to-curl/article_9392cc54-6c8b-59a1-af79-cb117521716b.html and the Monadnock Curling Club site...

Reflecting on watching someone you taught teach someone else... :-)

In this episode I reflect back on the first 100 episodes of The Dan York Report ...

Want to try out curling? Find a local curling club! In the US, you can visit: http://www.curlingrocks.net/USA-Curling/Clubs/Find-a-Club In Canada, you can visit: http://www.curling.ca/membership/member-curling-clubs/

In this era of social media, you have a moment to catch someone's attention and get them to click through and read your content. The title and first sentence of your article are *critical*!

After playing a great game of curling down in Petersham, MA, I talked about that game and also about how great it is to watch Olympic curling!
