Friday Humor: The Day The Routers Died

By Dan YorkSenior Director, Online Trust and Safety

Yes, this video is almost 6 years old… but it’s still worth a laugh on a Friday afternoon!  If you haven’t ever listened to “The Day The Routers Died” performed at the RIPE 55 meeting by Gary Feldman, well… you owe yourself the chance to do so!  And if you have seen it… or were there … it’s a fun look back – many of the people visible are folks who are still very active today!

Note that the full lyrics are available on the YouTube page if you are interested.

(and now I’ve got that song stuck in my head!!!)
