Sorry Russell! Fixing it now...

I first met Bob on TheServerSide.com, which I ran for a few years.

We would debate all things Java, at a time where that was the place to pioneer in a lot of ways. For real.

When I met him in person I was confused. He looked too cool for school. He carried himself in a certain way. He wouldn’t want to talk to me…

But no. He was an ultimate geek too. I saw him in many situations where he fit in there too. It always felt different.

And then there was the Vegas trip. We put on TheServerSide Symposium, and in one of the most surreal days ever, I ended up on the bridge of the Enterprise, celebrating Bob getting married.

Never a dull moment with Bob. An intense creative mind, and one that loooooved to have some fun.

I just went through some old emails, many of which had a common pattern in the thread of:

“AWESOME!!!”

What a guy.

Thank you. This is not a post from a diet guru trying to sell anything. This is a personal story about how one change is leading to a mindset change. The details of labeling a diet are not the point. Thanks for seeing a bigger picture.

I appreciate that. It is very interesting to see people jump on what I did or even more did not say in one post about a personal experience.

I think people need to realize that:

People are just trying their best!

Holy negativity. And in that I appreciate your comment Justin :)

I love this product. People have been talking "social email" for a long time.... But this is the first implementation that gives more than it distracts.

Wrt the new code that groks auto emails, I would love to see:

- seeing that a Twitter follow email is from Twitter doesn't do much for me. If it parsec the email and told me recent tweets from the follower? That would be awesome

- opening up this kind of support (email parsing) as plugins that could be crowd sourced would be great.

Love it.
