I'm happy to say I'm headed to Yahoo's next Open Hack Day, this time in Bangalore! It's hard to believe it's been less than a year since our first Open Hack Day with Beck. That's one long year! Many of us agree it was the "all-time best day at work ever."
I'm really excited about the fact that I'm going to Bangalore. Even though I've been to India 7 or 8 times, I've never been to Bangalore and haven't been to India in about 5 years. So excited!
And I'm very excited to see what innovations get cooked up there. Yahoo's Bangalore hackers have a sterling reputation, and I know the entire region is a hotbed of talent. It should rock. See you there I hope... Sign up.

Richard Stallman in Berkeley on Sept. 12
Sadly, I'm not sure I can make this as I've just come to know about it. But MacArthur Genius and personal hero Richard Stallman is going to be speaking at UCB next week.This will be thought provoking for sure. If you don't know all about Stallman (or rms) go read the the excellent wikipedia article on him.
One thing missing from the wikipedia article was that he had to hire someone to type for him because emacs (which he created) gave him severe repetitive stress injury. (Emacs is famous for "chorded" commands that wrap your fingers into pretzels.) Or maybe this was just MIT legend.
