I just met Ivan Valdez in the airport. He's a Microsoft employee, works in New Orleans.
He told me he met Bill Gates last night at the party at the Six Flags Amusement Park and said that meeting impressed him. "At my old company the CEO never came down to hang out with the employees."
He was looking forward to telling his daughter that he met Bill -- in school she read an autobiography of some of the people who started the personal computer industry and Bill is one of the people she wanted to meet someday.
Ivan told me that Bill was just walking around the park talking to employees and thanking them for their work.
Hey, meeting you Ivan was pretty inspiring. He's a new Microsoft employee. It's fun, here in the airport I've met German, Russian, English, Indian employees. It's a lot of fun to see the pride each team has in its country. The Russian and Turkey teams made their own shirts.
Update: yes, we know that Bill isn't the CEO. Geesh, you all like to nitpick. :-)
