Had a great breakfast with Miko this morning. (Breakfast at W is really good; not as expensive as you might think. I had pancakes. Suburb!)
Love that guy.
Miko, as you old timers know, is an early Java guy and is personally responsible for logging a gazillion miles evangelizing the Java platform in the early, early days. We spent some time talking about the past... reminiscing... but mostly we were focused on the future... my kids' future, actually.
Anyway... it was really nice...
Walking over to Moscone, a guard stopped us and said: (swear this is true; ask Miko if you don't believe me.)
"Excuse me miss. Once they let beautiful women inside, they're not allowed to come back out."
and he was talking to me! made me smile.
we had to jam... running late... I had to say goodbye to Miko at the top of the escalators ...
so i could get my badge (he already had his)...
long line... found Bauhaus (techno celeb, personal friend) standing in it... we chatted a bit...
Then Laura Ramsey, who's looking oh-so-gorgeous, comes over with an extra badge... Chris Atwood... "you wanna be Chris Atwood?"
I'm all over that... don't have to stand in line... won't miss a moment of the keynote...
Go Laura, Go Laura, Go Laura!
work it girl.
gotta go... keynotes in progress...
