Back in the saddle

Happy New Year to all. Back from a nice break, I hate to start the year off on a downer, but the Asian disaster provides yet another example of how this emerging decentralized media phenomenon is gaining momentum, particularly with new distribution applications coming to the aid of content producers. Chris Holland's tsunami video posts at Prodigem have had a few thousand downloads, and Ian Clarke, founder of the Freenet Project, has posted some tsunami videos using his Dijjer P2P cache solution. This is going to be an exciting year, and certainly can only get better from here (I hope).
