You know your life is totally out of whack when major news outlets write stuff like this:

The Guardian: Who is Robert Scoble and does anyone care?

PC Magazine: Gates vs. Scoble Smackdown. (Um, Jim, can you tell me what kind of Merlot you were drinking when writing this? I'd love some of that! Heheh.)

Redmond Magazine: No more Scoble to kick around. (What, am I going somewhere?)

Inquirer: Ego-crazed Scoble burns bridges. (Heheheh. What I love is that this headline got Valleywag to join in with its own headline: How to make news from nothing: The Inquirer's hyperbole.)

The Economist: Blogging Off (If there was one thing that put me on the corporate blogging map, it was being in the Economist. That magazine is more influential with executives than even the New York Times.)

Whew, all this because I took a new job.

Oh, several people asked whether I knew Bill Gates would quit this week. I had absolutely NO idea until minutes before I posted about it.

Sometimes in life you gotta get lucky. Making my decision last weekend instead of this weekend was definitely lucky.

Patrick woke me up this morning by giving me a backrub, then he led me downstairs where Maryam made me waffles. Is life good? You bet!

We're watching the World Cup on our new HDTV. HD will do more for soccer than any other single thing. Damn, it totally changes how enjoyable the game is to watch because you can see a broader swath of play and it's stunningly better quality.

The US stunned me against Italy yesterday. I thought they were gonna get slaughtered. If it weren't for the refs they might have won, and even being a man down they tied.

Anyway, hope you're having a great father's day.
