Robert Ferrigno, Reboot and me…
My favorite hangout is a large format bookstore. Think anywhere in the world, think library stacks, think of Borders, think of me.

The original Blue Screen of Death Launch post
A walk down memory lane, old backup drives and fossilized emails produced this mail shot from early 2006. How’s that for perspective? At the business school orientation for new arrivals, a fellow student asked me why I was at Columbia. My response drew a look of confusion – “I always wanted to write a book,…
Reboot on ITLOW and CIO WebStudio
Jehan does a very flattering post (all of it is true) and a great interview on the CIO webstudio covering the book. More pictures of the book (for you Mohtashim) and moa.
