I'm often accused of being easily impressed, but it's cool to see two "rock stars", granted from different industries, on the same day. I'm out here in SF attending JavaOne for the first time. So far it's been great, but I had to cut out early yesterday afternoon to brief a large customer.

While introducing myself to the customer's CTO, Jonathan Schwartz, our new CEO, walked in and introduced himself to both of us. I thought that was pretty cool. I was just getting ready to provide a roadmap update so when Jonathan started to address them he said something like, "I don't want to disappoint you, but I won't be sharing the technical and roadmap update on Sun's Directory Server". He is as smooth and charismatic an individual as I've ever met. "Rock Star"

Then last night we went to LuLu's with this customer and near the end of dinner we realized that Sammy Hagar was "in the house". The fact that every young woman in the place was running over there and lots of camera flashes started going off should have been a dead give away. I'm not a fan, but without a doubt he is a real Rock Star.

After my Lindsay Lohan meeting in New Orleans last year, my kids will be happy to know I didn't embarrass them by trying to personally confirm it was Sammy Hagar.
