About this blog

This is my personal blog which I began in February 2001. I called it The Obvious? when I wrote anonymously and chose the name to reflect the fact I have to overcome my inhibitions about stating the obvious!

    Reboot 2009

    DateFriday, February 5, 2010 at 5:40PM

    The video of my keynote at last year's Reboot has gone up. To explain the start I decided that when Thomas announced me I wouldn't be on stage but sitting in the audience in an attempt to convey the discomfort people feel when things don't happen as they expect.

    As I was attending your talk at Reboot, I thought it was genius to start like that. I could see there was discomfort in the audience. I could read the thoughts on their faces:

    Where is that guy? How can I trust what he is saying when I don't see him? So let's look around. Where are the others looking at? Should I look the same way as the others to see where the guy is sitting, standing, or perhaps lying (which is not exceptional when attending the Reboot).
