I always come back with my head buzzing with ideas. I envy people who live at this level 365 days a year. My life is filled with details. But for three days every year I get to soar in the clouds, where every dream makes sense, and anything is possible. I'm going to have a fantastic time at Agenda.
Respect comes at the point of a gun at Agenda.
Most years it's been Microsoft. Lately it's been Netscape and then the Java community, but I bet this year the pendulum will swing back to Microsoft. Too bad, because Microsoft doesn't embrace most of what's going on in the world, so to the extent that we accept the view that they control our destiny, we accept a limited version of what each of us can contribute. I like to go driving in the desert. Hey, sometimes you're seeing mirages.
