Brewster Kahle sold his company to Amazon for $250 million several years ago and the cat is still hard at work and walking around in 10 year old New Balances.

Remember the Nike thread when I said get the New Balance? Shows wisdom on my part it seems eh? Try getting one year of good wear out of a pair of Nike’s … you cannot … they blow out.

The only other pair of shoes I had (aside from countless sandles I’ve destroyed) are my Airwalks which have a life-span of about a year, although I made them last much longer.

It sounds like this was a hell of a nice party. I got an invite to Googles latest bash from someone I know who works there. If I had to choose I would rather drink a few with some big brains at Foo Camp.

The only negative is that it doesn’t look like there were many women around, although since I am married I guess that’s a minor thing. :-)

and btw, I think there were some closeted designers there (I was). I had to pick one way to introduce myself and went with the PM thing since that’s what got me there (I’m the guy that wrote art of project management). Saying “oh and I do X too” always gets that special kind of frown :)

We should have done a session on great user experiences or design for programmers – something fun! If we’re lucky, maybe next year.
