Huge congratulations to you, Jon. Your previously-stated reasons for being excited about Microsoft, along with your unsurpassed talent in creating, combining and writing about it all, make me jump-up-and-down excited to see what comes next.
Jon:
While we were at McGraw-Hill, our paths crossed a few times — you getting Byte online, and me doing the same with other science-and-tech pubs. If there was a clear voice in those confused times, it was you. I remember a “junket” to Orlando, where you so spoke so eloquently (and with appropriate gentleness) that you floored management into going with our project.
Now, with me chasing open-source dreams in small settings (the Thai-Cambodian border), I’m happy that you are once again following up with a new vision of what you were meant to do. You — Jon’s Radio — have always been on my feed list, wherever you and I’ve been going. Good luck, happy holidays,
Jai

Didn’t see your lawnmower video until today. I’m a push mower fan myself. So easy even a child can do it! Here’s my son (at age 2) pushing one (without the blade engaged):

Correction: he’s only 18 months old in the video!
