    Congrats, Robert. :) Enjoy that time off if you can. I am packing my desk right now to move on to new work. Somewhat an odd feeling but it will be good to do new things.

    “Philip Rosedale, Founder and CEO of Linden Lab, developers of Second Life says that the immersive experience is circumventing some traditional ways of accessing search. ”

    This is on your future(5/7/06) employer’s RSS feed – what does it mean? In your new role, let me know. Should I watch the podcast to work it out (I haven’t). Or do you expect me to explain to my friends down the pub why they should watch the podcast based on this ….. summary? flyer? or what?

    beqenbawr clearly you’ve not met enough people in your life and are unable to distinguish between passion and arrogance/egomania. Unless of course this is an ironic comment in which case… Robert you’re an egomaniac with an arrogant streak the size of Washington state. Have a great holiday and please continue to blog when you get to the valley if only to annoy the likes of beqenbawr.

    Well I’m an egomaniac and an arrogant, obnoxious snob and I have to say Robert is nowhere NEAR in my league.

    Robert, I’m just getting into blog consulting and I look forward to stealing many of your ideas at PodTech.

    Hey Robert! Egomaniac, Shmegomaniac! All I can say, after meeting you for the first time at Vloggercon, as, unlike so many others I’ve met over the last few years, you are a VERY NICE guy with a VERY POSITIVE AND UPBEAT attitude and personna! The few minutes we spent together were very pleasant and very positive! Hell, I wish I could say that about so many others I’ve spent time with! I look forward to working with you once you’re settled into your new digs at Podtech! Keep up the great personna!

    Dmad: I read a lot of books and like reading them. I just don’t have time to read them usually.
