So I’m in Redmond and for the first time this year the sun has come out!
Microsoftees have taken to the tables outside RedWest C cafe and are soaking up the rays while having lunch.
What is alarming are the amount of sandals on show. They’re not being worn by the women but by the MEN! I know this is an outdoorsy kind of state and pretty relaxed, but guys I work with you! I don’t want to see your gnarled toenails and calluses.
What’s even worse than the typical Washington dress sense is the trend for wearing socks with sandals!!!

Seriously guys, spend some of those share options on a makeover!!!

I caught up with Avinash at eMetrics 2008 in San Francisco and wanted to talk, not about web analytics, but about his approach to delivering presentations.
If you’ve not has a chance to watch him in action, have no fear, he’s worth the conference pass fee alone.
Check out this interview where he tells me about how he prepares for public speaking at conference sessions and sales pitches.

Stayed here at the weekend - what a great place but there were lots of kids around!
Got nothing against kids, but this sign I thought provided ample warning to parents tempted to let them run riot!
