[Educause 2003] Ken Klingenstein wins the award

It was great yesterday to see Ken Klingenstein, leader of the Internet 2 Middleware Initiative, get the Educause award for Leadership in Information Technologies. Ken has been a driving force in the profession for many years, and for the last several has been at the center of important and hopefully far-reaching advances in distributed middleware architectures.

Ken's award-acceptance speech was titled "Noteworthy Failures, Ulysses, and the Heart of Rock and Roll" and was full of characteristically humorous, warm, and penetrating insights as he looked back on his career.

Way to go, Ken!
