<description><![CDATA[Bill Hammerman&apos;s blog shares reflections on how the information and technology world of today impacts Petaluma. In addition, from time to time, the following themes are addressed: &quot;Then &amp; Now,&quot; &quot;Web of Life,&quot; &quot;Our Community,&quot; and &quot;Remembering Bill Soberanes.&quot; When he can&apos;t concentate on just one topic, look for a &quot;GLOB.&quot; Following a 40-year career as an educator, Bill is now a community volunteer who founded Petaluma Electronic Network (PEN) in 1996, the Petaluma CyberCity Roundtable (PCCR) in 1998, the Petalumans of Yesteryear in 1998, and the Petaluma Alliance for Local  Emergency Response Teams (ALERT) in 2006.
