I have been playing around with Firefox Hello today. It requires at least version 34.0.5 of Firefox. I like having a contact list in my Firefox browser to initiate WebRTC video conferences. For instance, If I am signed in to Firefox Hello, you can easily call me after adding my email as a contact. If I am not signed in, it seems you have to send me an invitation url to call me which isn’t so bad.

I’m in Longview for my brother David’s memorial service. On a visit with him here in August, he showed me an online community devoted to sharing information about cancer treatment. It was a real online community that made a difference and I was very glad to see the important contributions he made.

Thanks to Stephen Torrence for recording the EFF-Austin meeting. Some of the toughest questions raised after the presentation regarded digital death and Stephen included some relevant links with the recording. Lots to think about!

hello pants!
