Vision

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee, one of the original inventors of the World Wide Web (that big internet thing you may have heard of), described his vision of the internet as a semantic web of data. What is the Semantic Web? At Berners-Lee’s time, the web was a group of interconnected pages. This structure still forms the foundation of the internet today. However, there is a limitation: linking only connects pages without giving machines any understanding of the actual information contained on those pages.

I am an avid cyclist. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of moving fast through beautiful countryside, smelling the lemon blossoms, spotting wildlife, and having the freedom to explore off the beaten path. The challenge of a big climb is exhilarating, and the sense of flying down the other side is pure joy. What I love most, though, is the sense of community—sharing rides with fellow cyclists as we challenge each other and revel in the adventure.
