I’m watching as I upload these and laughing my head off!
The final line of this one is what I’ve felt like saying to soooo many people soooo many times – now I can!

I may just grow a beard now – what a line!
Sergey Brin’s Blog – Personal & Thoughtful Too
Apparently the co-founder of Google Sergey Brin has launched a personal blog:
Excellent if it is him as it’ll be very interesting to get some insight into the guy.
In his first entry he says: “”While Google is a play on googol, too is a play on the much smaller number – two. It also means “in addition”, as this blog reflects my life outside of work.“
Anticipating a huge reception by way of comments he’s introduced the caveat:
“While I would like to receive and post many insightful comments, realistically I am unlikely to be able to read through all of them and may accept very few or none at all. Thank you for your understanding.”
Talking about Parkinson’s disease in the 2nd entry, I did find the blue on black design a little heavy going on the senses……..but it may have been the claret so will revisit in the morning!
No Women In The Tech Rich List!
Bill Gates heads up the richest people in tech according to TechCrunch!
But where are the ladies?
Any tech conference I’ve been to has had strong and impressive women speaking and driving thought leadership, so am I opening a can of worms by asking why there seems to be none on the big time pay rolls?

Bill and Jerry Show is Winning People Over
I’d say the new ads Part 1 and Part 2 from Microsoft are working from the comments on TechCrunch.
Last week I clamoured for patience and the debate rages on!
One things for sure – the ads are being talked about – if they’d just rolled out some “Windows does blah blah blah!” copy, how impressed would have we been with that?
Advertising is getting more sophisticated – let’s embrace it!
