So here's my schedule for Westercon, coming up this weekend at the San Jose Fairmont:

  o Sunday, Jul 03  1:00 PM to Sunday, Jul 03  2:30 PM in room: Club Regent
      The Internet Goes Interplanetary
      The "internet protocol" has been extended to support connectivity and
      communications off-planet. You may not be able to Instant Message but
      you will be able to send email. How will this affect long-duration space
      exploration? 

  o Sunday, Jul 03  3:15 PM to Sunday, Jul 03  4:00 PM in room: California
      Concert: Steve Savitzky
      Join Steve in songs about computers, space, fantasy, friendship, and love. 

  o Monday, Jul 04 10:00 AM to Monday, Jul 04 11:30 AM in room: Regency Ballroom 2
      The Future of Privacy
      Technology has made it easier for people to find and share
      information. At the same time it's become much more difficult to
      preserve personal privacy. How will the challenge to privacy affect us
      over the next 50 years? Is this a right to be protected, or is the
      concept of privacy an illusion -- for example, how much privacy did
      people have living in small towns before mass communications? 

See you there, perhaps!
