0:00:00.000,0:00:00.778
(Cory Doctorow) Thank you very much

0:00:01.066,0:00:05.420
So I'd like to start with something of a[br]benediction or permission.

0:00:05.420,0:00:07.740
I am one of nature's fast talkers

0:00:07.740,0:00:10.620
and many of you are not [br]native English speakers, or

0:00:10.620,0:00:12.919
maybe not accustomed [br]to my harsh Canadian accent

0:00:12.919,0:00:15.919
in addition I've just come in [br]from Australia

0:00:15.919,0:00:19.166
and so like many of you I am horribly[br]jetlagged and have drunkenough coffee

0:00:19.166,0:00:20.736
this morning to kill a rhino.

0:00:22.112,0:00:23.587
When I used to be at the United Nations

0:00:23.587,0:00:27.023
I was known as the scourge of the[br]simultaneous translation core

0:00:27.157,0:00:29.528
I would stand up and speak [br]as slowly as I could

0:00:29.576,0:00:32.229
and turn around, and there they[br]would be in their boots doing this

0:00:32.229,0:00:35.136
(laughter)[br]When I start to speak too fast,

0:00:35.136,0:00:37.557
this is the universal symbol --[br]my wife invented it --

0:00:37.557,0:00:41.518
for "Cory, you are talking too fast".[br]Please, don't be shy.

0:00:42.078,0:00:45.790
So, I'm a parent , like many of you [br]and I'm like I'm sure all of you

0:00:45.790,0:00:48.850
who are parents, parenting takes my ass [br]all the time.

0:00:50.030,0:00:54.820
And there are many regrets I have[br]about the mere seven and half years

0:00:54.820,0:00:57.284
that I've been a parent [br]but none ares so keenly felt

0:00:57.784,0:01:00.878
as my regrets over what's happened [br]when I've been wandering

0:01:00.878,0:01:04.766
around the house and seen my[br]daughter working on something

0:01:04.766,0:01:08.697
that was beyond her abilities, that was [br]right at the edge of what she could do

0:01:08.697,0:01:12.759
and where she was doing something [br]that she didn't have competence in yet

0:01:12.759,0:01:17.019
and you know it's that amazing thing [br]to see that frowning concentration,

0:01:17.019,0:01:20.038
tongue stuck out: as a parent, your[br]heart swells with pride

0:01:20.038,0:01:21.332
and you can't help but go over

0:01:21.332,0:01:23.280
and sort of peer over their shoulder[br]what they are doing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and those of you who are parents [br]know it happens.
