I liked that your work was projected. Was it preserved and now a conference flipbook of contact and images? A keeper rememberance
What a great tool to draw people to you for conversations. Unless a steady stream cut the talking short. (in which case if the card wasn’t captured I hope everyone had to give you two so you could keep one)

Recently read Avinash Kaushik’s comments on working for Google, http://tinyurl.com/2lzyhx. I wondered if working for Microsoft was as good. Anyone from MS want to comment on that?
Any huge corp that continues to prosper is doing something right with its staff.

Your posts about MS have been a big influence in my decision to stop bashing MS. You’ve opened my eyes to the fact there are *people* working at MS. And people can change corporations. Hopefully sooner than later.
This doesn’t mean I like MS as this article, a pick from PJ of Groklaw, points out. First an excerpt and her comment, then the link. The article itself is rather long.
* Among the fixes he plans to call for: Companies should create businesses that focus on building products and services for the poor. “Such a system would have a twin mission: making profits and also improving lives for those who don’t fully benefit from market forces,” he says….
Key to Mr. Gates’s plan will be for businesses to dedicate their top people to poor issues — an approach he feels is more powerful than traditional corporate donations and volunteer work. Governments should set policies and disburse funds to create financial incentives for businesses to improve the lives of the poor, he plans to say today. “If we can spend the early decades of the 21st century finding approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce poverty in the world,”
PJ from Groklaw comments: I gather Microsoft, like Intel, has figured out that there is a huge market in the third world for computers and computer chips, thanks to OLPC, which they are now busy strangling. So in this speech, I read it that he’s asking governments to pay them [to strangle OLPC] and honor them for doing so.Bill Gates Issues Call For Kinder Capitalism (and Gov’t Money) Thursday, January 24 2008 @ 04:20 PM EST – Wall St. Journal
