Also Rises
I'm in Burlington, MA for the better part of this week, to attend orientation for my new job: I've recently accepted a position with Sun Microsystems as an interface designer and I'm pleased as hell about it.

I'm back in Columbus from Boston, and glad to be so. Some pleasant surprises from my trip:
Ben carved out an evening for me, and took me for some fantastic sushi at Blue Fin. We met his friends Josh and Amanda, who are lovely people.
I discovered that Sun has an local (probably a sales) office in Columbus! Not more than a mile from my house! With ~20 floating loaner-offices for use by remote workers! I'm going over there tomorrow to scope the space out.
Excellent.

You will often see this linked to as the canonical reference to Sun's policy toward employee blogging. My only question is, why won't I find a public statement of policy, hosted anywhere on the sun.com domain?
(I'm just asking -- maybe it's there and I haven't found it. I have to believe if there were a publicly stated policy, that smart folks like Jeremy would point to that rather than Tim's post.)
Sun's Greg Papadopoulos on cooperating with Microsoft:
Everyone always asks me what it is like to have 1:1's with Gates, and the answer is not what most people expect. He's got two sides of his personality: a smart, genuine and very approachable geek (I found that surprising) and a hard-edged business guy (not surprising). I truly enjoy our interactions when we are in geek-mode. There is broad common ground on where things are going, what are problems with getting there, and why we need a relentless focus upon innovation. And let's just say I feel differently when his biz-mode kicks in. 'Nuf said.
