Bill Gates was at the Sydney Media Centre yesterday and I didn't know... I should have guessed since he's speaking at the World Economic Forum today and I saw all the .NET stuff in the conference room... Oh well, that would have been interesting.

Speaking of the World Economic Forum, there are 10,000 protestors there. That's impressive. There was a good article on the protests in Wired News today. It'll be interesting to see if many protestors migrate down to Sydney after things are done there.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
