Nothing to do with unified communications or social networking, but this experience was too precious not to share. Armaan is now 19 months old and it is incredible how quickly he picks up everything! He has difficulty pronouncing some things (my favorite is when he misses the "r" in "fork") but is having full blown conversations with us at this stage. I love being a Dad!

Just getting back from an exciting Unified Communications launch event in Johannesburg, South Africa, as part of the rolling global launch modeled on San Francisco event. I keynoted this event and had some great conversations with our customers, field teams and partners. I'll write more about this later, but had to share some pictures in the meantime:-). Danie Gordon and the South African team put on a great show packed with content and entertainment (complete with belly dancers and a rowdy comedian named Barry Hilton). The theme was Moroccan, so many people were lounging on the floor when I presented, so that was a first for me! Anand Lakshminarayanan (who presented a number of the breakout sessions and drove the demo) and I had a great time. Thanks Danie and team!
