Comment that left me slackjawed and stunned today, on meeting someone for the first time:

"Tall, thin, long red hair... yup, you're pretty much like Grady described you."



Oh yeah, ended up being 17 interviews. Too much to digest as of yet.

Where's the mystery?

Grady is Grady Booch - the guy who gave the keynote at WICSA last month, who I spent *MAYBE* three minutes talking to, have mailed twice, and haven't gotten a reply back from. The second mail to him was telling him that, since he's in IBM, if he was by any chance near the Watson center yesterday, I'd be giving a talk. He apparently contacted someone at the labs and told them.

I was pretty positive he didn't remember me from Adam, but...

I was pretty stunned to have it come out of left field like that.

'long red hair'? Huh?

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

I guess I really haven't been up there in a while, have I? :)

I just cut 4" off of it - and it still at the bottom of my shoulder blades.

Sounds like a good thing though, huh?

[kimokeane.livejournal.com]

You're a good looking man - maybe he noticed! ;)

[badger.livejournal.com]

Yep, understand.

He says to the woman who has been considering chopping 4" off, to keep from sitting on it. :)
But yeah, it's been a while since you've been here. At least, long enough to actually meet for coffee . . .

Hah! Who needs luck now!

Told you that you were good.

Clearly I haven't seen you in far too long. Long hair? Who'da thunk?
