The ATC "Mossie" Trio arrives in Kuwait

The ATC Mossie trio, Henk, Zayd and Willy have arrived safe and sound in Kuwait for the Technology Day event tomorrow. We had a lot of delay and the feeling of "Midnight Express" when we ended up waiting for our visas at the airport at 3AM in the morning, only to realise that Zayd's suitcase...

Redmond Sabbatical - Day 7

The flags are still flying at half mast in the Redmond campus, showing that the senseless Virginia Tech massacre has left deep scars. Yesterday's shooting at NASA and the fatal F-18 Blue Angel crash this morning seems to indicate that this country has some more wounds to mend. What is truly amazing...

Redmond Sabbatical Day 4

Redmond Sabbatical - Day 3

Day 3 ... oh yes, I failed to create an update for day 1 and 2. The reason for this omission is not my aging gray matter or lack of commitment, but rather lack of energy an d time. The flight from South-Africa to the US went well, with the plane onboard map showing us ahead of schedule by close to an...

MVP Summit - T+1: Museum of flight ... WOW!

Apart from the buzz of the MVP passion and brainpower humming through the museum of flight ... the experience of visiting the was simply "awesome".

MVP Summit - T+1: The Summit is heating up, while the weather is cooling

The day started at 2C ... quite "coolish" for us South-Africans. Last night we enjoyed the regional dinner, which resulted in most of us getting captured on a sheet or paper VISUALISATION and receiving a tattoo IDENTIFICATION ... relax, it only lasts a day. Today was quite eventful, with Bill Gates delivering...

MVP Summit - T-0.2: Mohammed our hero

The summit has not started, but my South-Africa time clock has thrown me out of bed at 3AM ... good time to quickly post two pictures, from last night's MVP dinner arranged by Mohammed Seedat (goold old "Mo") at the Coldwater Bar and Grill in the Westin Hotel, and then to do some work before bracing...
