tanto nomini nullum par elogium -- just kidding... RSS 2.0

Today was the Microsoft company meeting.

I always attend these events and try to bring as many people as I can with me.

I'll admit that I am one of this those people that say, "Oh, Apple already does that."  or "Smalltalk did that back in 1980."

That makes me really funny at these meetings, but I am also one of those folks that really gets fired up when SteveB, BillG, or ROzzie takes the stage.

Yes, I am an Apple and SJobs fan boy (that is so popular now, I think I am going to start likely the BeOS again). 

Yes, I think that if the world just adopted Smalltalk peace would break out throughout the world. 

But with very few exceptions, Microsoft is one of the only places where you can actually (no bullshit, no bait and switch, ...) change the world.

That is why I work here, even though I am typing this on a MacBook Pro and I would rather build a house out of Zunes than carry one around.

Who knows, one of these days, my team will reinvent Smalltalk again (sooner than you think) and the world will live as one...
