Filed Under: GVSummit2008, Global Voices Online, Uncategorized By: Jillian @ 4:55 am

That’s just a tiny modification to the title of my post on the GV Summit site. Day One was quite awesome, despite the fact that I, as per usual, lost the ability to pay attention near the end of the day. Unfortunately, I was right up front, so I couldn’t just potter off [...]

George Carlin dies at 71 | June 23rd, 2008

Filed Under: Uncategorized By: Jillian @ 8:41 pm
