You should have suggested that the young CEO of Puppet read the earlier entries on your blog! Maybe he's done that already. You've known him for a long time. I didn't realize that until the very end of the recording. This was fun to watch, the interaction is cute, I smiled. Good idea to record and post it.

More blog entries please! I've read your posts over on Wordpress, but slightly lost track of you after the passing of @pinggoat. This blog is full of fun stuff. Did you know that our mutual acquaintance, @hexmanshu is also on Posterous? Actually, I think we may be everywhere! I'm here too. And am now your newest subscriber.

I'm pleased to see that you are doing well, with Normandias, and with sensor network research. Ample material of interest for mathematicians. Or computer scientists! I noticed your recent interactions with Mr. Khosla. That is awesome! I don't know much about him, never heard of him until earlier this year. But I was so excited about WeatherBill. I wrote a little about it, you can delete this link if you want, I'm not trying to spam your fine blog:

What really caught my eye, and respect, about Mr. Khosla (and WeatherBill) was his interest in making a significant venture capital investment in a business targeting farmers and growers. It is is cool, and wise, on several levels! There's the obvious one, that such an investment is beneficial to a larger segment of people than investment in the more typical areas e.g. social media and mobile apps games (What a massive understatement! I just started laughing as I re-read that). But Mr. Khosla, and Google's, funding of WeatherBill isn't like a World Bank project or development agency grant- there's potential for entrepreneurs too. That's the clever part!

You take good care of yourself, okay? And keep up the fine work!
Best wishes always,
Ellie Kesselman

Wow! I really should check my blog comments often :) Ellie, thanks a million for the comment, I really really appreciate it. Been swamped with Puppet for the last couple of months, we've been on one heck of a ride! Also, I agree, pinggoat needs to make a return :D
