Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, is coming to Stanford

El Capitan of Microsoft
Microsoft’s CEO, Steve Ballmer, is coming to Stanford on Wednesday. He’s going to give a talk about entrepreneurship in Memorial Auditorium at 4pm. If you’re in the Palo Alto area and you want to attend, you can get free tickets online. You can find out more on the ETL website.
Also, rumor has it that the ETL coordinators are going to give Steve an ETL shirt at the end of the seminar (that’s the shirt that I designed!!). If anything like this happens, I’ll be sure to take some pictures and let you’all know about it! Wouldn’t it be awesome if my t-shirt design was on the body of someone worth $11,000,000,000 — that’s 11 billion dollars?!
In the meantime, amuse yourself with some of his past antics. This dude’s an interesting character, without a doubt.
The Microsoft Dance
I hope he does his Microsoft dance for us…
or his Developers chant…
or tries to sell us some Windows…
But seriously…
He’s a really interesting guy. There’s no doubt that he’s an important guy in the tech industry. I’m really curious to hear what he has to say, given his past history of questionably sane predictions:
Steve Ballmer Laughs at iPhone
I’ll let you’all know how the talk goes — especially if he says anything interesting.

“That guy?!?!” I remember seeing that first video on YouTube and could only imagine what Gates was thinking. That’s a really cool opportunity – have fun!

Thanks Andrei! I have always wondered why Gates chose Steve Ballmer to be his CEO. I’m not an expert on Microsoft history, but I’ve heard that he’s only CEO because he knew Gates back in the day.
