Gearshift Goes to Google for Interview with Vint Cerf "Father of the Internet"

Today I interviewed Vint Cerf, the "Father of the Internet".  He is a brilliant mind and he spoke on the topic of internet security.  Cerf was a program manager for the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funding various groups to develop TCP/IP technology. When the Internet began to transition to a commercial opportunity, Cerf moved to MCI where he was instrumental in the development of the first commercial email system (MCI Mail) connected to the Internet.

Cerf has worked for Google as its Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist since September 2005. In this function he has become well known for his predictions on how technology will affect future society, encompassing such areas as artificial intelligence, environmentalism, the advent of IPv6 and the transformation of the television industry and its delivery model.

Redskins Secret Playbook Found at Bar

I tasked my friend Rusty to come up with some headlines to associate with this picture I shot in the Redskins locker room:

• If you think this is top secret, you should see the other side of the board, it contains the ending to "Lost"

• Mike Shanahan's first lap top

• You should see the play on the other side of the board, it's designed to actually gain yardage

• Half back swings out to the left for the Shoney's early bird special?

• Shouldn't the 5 O's in the middle be wider?

• Here's your first play Donovan, hike the ball, and either duck or run like hell!
