Steve,

Many congrat's on making it to lucky number 13 and of course big congrat's on your new blog and role at Microsoft. I must say your new news did remind me of an email I sent to you about 2 years ago in giving some thought about your blog. I said..

"Re blog topics, what's clear is that Microsoft have a really amazing wealth of interesting, smart people doing interesting, smart things. You, Curtis Wong, Johnny Lee Chung, Blaise Agüera y Arcas are just the tiny few who I have come across by chance mostly due to TED and now Thinking Digital. I saw a short bit of the Chris Bishop TV shows you mentioned and thought that looked really promising too.

Basically, you blogging on the interesting folks you work with or come across at MSFT is/would be hugely interesting. Who they are, what their story is, why they're at MSFT and of course the cool stuff that they work on. Commercial people as well as tech folks. Even the Chris Bishop thing would have totally passed me by had you not said something. Who has time for TV these days!"

So it's obvious I was just one of many who saw your storytelling talent early on. Glad that the Jedi Council at MSFT realised you sported a high midichlorian count and put you in a role where you could really do some damage :-)

Best of luck and hope to see you soon.

Herb

It's been a pleasure to read the blog over the past few years (and post the odd comment), i'm looking toward to more of the same at 'next'. So long old blog and thanks for all the dye cut stickers.
