Bill Gates and Steve Jobs keynotes
I just finished watching Bill Gates‘ keynote at CES from last Sunday (I know, I should have been reviewing papers instead). I watched Steve Jobs‘ keynote at Macworld from yesterday. Wow!

Panos is here
Panos is visiting Microsoft and he’s staying in Seattle for few days. It’s great to see him. Need to think what we are going to be doing over the weekend. I went to pick him up from building 41 today to go out for dinner. It took me 2 1/2 hours to cover a distance…

"Architecture Astronauts"
This was pointed out to me few months ago and it has been sitting in my mailbox since then. It was written in 2001 but I think it will always apply.

66,795 pushups and situps? Hmmm…
This is a fun challenge by Dan but I already have my own for the new year… get ready for a full marathon. I need to get ready for the Vancouver half-marathon; I’ve set myself the challenge of doing it in 1.35-1.40. Then run another half marathon before trying a full marathon. So I am…
