I'm sure you see the irony in the ephemeral nature of information nowadays, as exhibited by the fact that Jennifer lost a section of her presentation when the network hiccuped?

Finally, I couldn't agree with Jennifer more, as I work on establishing my own brand online and off. WIRED may report that brand is passe, but I bet that between your clothes, your luggage and your tech gear, you have at least two or three items that you bought because it was cool or trendy, not simply because it served a utilitarian purpose.
