I really liked the element of the face-to-face interactions, getting to know people, bonding with people, learning people. Like you said, you know my family. You have a great family as well.

First up today, Microsoft drops glossy print magazine. Seriously, are you kidding? This made a lot of sense to me, actually. And I think here's the punchline. There's a lot of niche audiences that are hard to reach. And for whatever reason, we always think there's like one size fits all.
