While we focus on Information Technology updates in this blogpost, here's a very rare and cool item: a space-theme cover, with a Technology Day Station pictorial postmark from 2006.
I never met an extraterrestrial [ :) ], but I did meet people who have been in Cosmos.
First I met cosmonaut Dumitru "Dorin" Prunariu (Romania). My mother is his former biology teacher in elementary school.

Then I met astronaut Henry "Hank" Hartsfield Jr. (USA)
We shook hands and he autographed this space cover for me (COSMOS3b, in my photobucket.com album "dorincard").

The death of the web is over-rated. Many of us are still using non-web mobile-/cell-phone technology.
The WW2 generation and the post-war baby-boomers grew up in the era of "if it ain't broke, you don't need a new one" (and if it is you don't get a new one until you can pay for it cash!). My mobile phone is for emergency contact only: no camera, no games, no web.
Long live the web!
