""Col. Dave Hughes, USA, Ret., is the only character who has popped up in the plot every time I've investigated the roots of a technology revolution," futurist author Howard Rheingold wrote in "Smart Mobs," his 2002 book about the sociology of constant Internet connectivity."

Dave Hughes, LONG-time fellow WELL and Colorado resident is a personal hero of mine - not-wiring the un-wired for many years now.  76 years old and, still hard at work and finally getting some national recognition - in this case in a great article on CNN - for his lifetime of hard work.  Read the article, check out his website and go join the WELL to read his years of writing.
