The run is part of the Thanksgiving celebration coordinated by the ships Moral, Recreation and Welfare program for the Marines and Sailors. The 24th MEU is deployed with the Iwo Jima ARG and is currently in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

Skype Estonia Panel

Fun with the Skype team and the President of Estonia today.
Just after my talk, we had a panel on the Skype phenomenon and E.stonia: "What is it about Estonia, with an obscure language and unenviable weather that produces more startups per head of population than any other country in Europe?"
I felt especially proud to hear the President speak of two-factor authentication as the underpinning of federated identity management, the key requirement for e-healthcare adoption. You don't often hear from a President that has been programming since the age of 13. (He connected via Skype video from his summer home in the countryside. When his dog barked, we all thought it came from the stage somehow and checked our phones).
