I went to Microsoft


Abstract: I went to Microsoft and met Bob Scoble and several other talented individuals.

I went to Microsoft! There I met Bob Scoble. Bob used to work for me as a student assistant back, as they say, "in the day." I cannot say enough good things about Bob. He is a creative genius the way Mozart or Lance Armstrong is. He has that gift to see and focus on that thing we miss. In his talent he can see and to focus on what his talent is, indeed I would guess, he is driven by it. His talent is technology and the creative use of it. He is a Microsoft Longhorn evangelist

Robert showed me around Microsoft, introduced me to several people there and we totally geeked out. We had some great talks with Microsoft folks about Windows, Linux, Macintosh and the state of tech in higher education. Then, we went to the Company Store. All I can say is, "wow!" After that we went to his house and I spent a very enjoyable evening with him, his wife Maryam and their son Patrick. She had prepared a wonderful and well presented meal. That was a real treat! After the meal we talked, drank some good Idaho wine and Robert and I played a cool game and I got fragged many times. (This game is still in Beta. It is a great game, but I suck at video games in general.)
