Interesting people, interesting conversations

Posted on June 1st, 2006 by Sacha Chua

It is my firm belief that if I mash interesting people together, they'll most probably have interesting conversations - and if I'm around to hear those conversations, even better.

I went to IBM, and that turned out to be perfect timing. Laurie Dillon, Pranam Kolari and Ian Chan all pinged me for lunch. I thought they should definitely meet each other, so we all met up for lunch at 12 and had a wonderful conversation about IBM intranet goodness and blogging visualizations. =) That was tons of fun.

Random Japanese sentence: 家はねこが２匹います。１匹は白で、もう１匹はくろです。 We have two cats; one is white, and the other is black.
