I had the privileged of seeing him deliver at Keynote at IEEE GlobeCom in 2019. He was funny, an amazing presenter, and very down to earth.

I first heard about this internet thing from Cliff Stoll in The Cuckoo’s Egg. I got on a few years later.

For all that we complain, it’s still the most amazing thing ever.

I worked with him at CNRI. Seemed pretty dim and overrated. I think people keep him around for the DARPA connection.

I'm relatively young and my first exposure to life and work of Vint Cerf was through DTN and Interplanetary Internet. What a life of accomplishment!

My "When I met Vint" story is less exciting then some here. He attended the "Disability Support Group" at Google regularly. He made a point of just being there to listen and support others.

> a relatively good career

What's that for?

How amazing it must be to be called the 'father' of something that everyone uses... I'm envious. Could I ever create something like that? As a programmer, the dream is always to build something that others actually use properly.

Will we still be able to get ipv4 addresses?

Hey, I met Vint once at a conference - we were talking about some subsea fiber projects I was involved with. At the time he was working on interplanetary IP (IPIP? jk), which I thought was pretty stellar. Nice guy and very curious - qualities we should all work hard to foster.

IP on everything :D
