OMG, I just met Steve Ballmer!
Shaking hands with Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer. Notice, he is wearing THE T-SHIRT I DESIGNED!
More info and a full story coming as soon as I have time to write a full blog post. In the meantime, enjoy this video of Steve’s speech!
Update 11/07/2009: It looks like the video of Steve’s speech has been removed from the ETL website. Next time I’ll download it and host it locally.

Andrei, the image next to your name is automatically generated based on your email address. Yours looks kinda funny!
The system works using a computer science technique called “hashing” to generate a unique number from your email address. In this case, your hash number is “ea01c8b7bff3a362d70a609c31649da1″. Then it looks at different parts of this number, which correspond to different facial elements. In this way, it can generate a unique face for everyone that visits the site.
If you don’t like your image, you can change it at http://gravatar.com and it will change it on every site that uses the Gravatar system – I think some big news sites use it too.

Thank you Asfand! Very nice of you.
If I ever shake Obama’s hand — which I don’t think will happen anytime soon — I’ll be sure to let you know.
Thanks again!
