What is he like? I'm a couple hundred pages into Information Rules at the moment myself... I'm also reading The Only Sustainable Edge (which I saw that you panned ;-) Frankly I'm a big fan of it as it has made some of my own strategic arguments a little more clear. And I like the overall emphasis on a) talent retention b) specialization and c) collaboration to create advantage. Any others you'd recommend that are similar but better in your opinion? Have you read The Wealth of Networks by Yochai Benkler? Congratulations on the new job! Very cool that you got to meet/interview with Hal Varien. What is he like?

It better be more than cash and draft picks! Sorry to see you go, man... Keep me posted on the going away gathering. Did we get something good back in the trade?

I hope you have a great time here. Even though we don't know each other your well, your advice to join was definitely a factor to me a year and a half ago. I'll look you up when I'm out in Mountain View, which is often. Welcome to Google. I hope you have a great time here.

Even though we only met a couple of times, I try to frequent your blog as much as possible. The new gig sounds amazing! Best of luck. Let me know what the plans are for the final shindig.
