Today was my last chance to get Scobelized in person before the man moves himself and his wife up to the rainy range of Redmond, so we met up for lunch. Robert is really intelligent and a good conversationalist, not just a wanking blogger, so this is always fun and I’m sad he’s leaving the Valley. Although the move is a great opportunity for him and a great hire for Microsoft. The talk ranged from bad CEOs who hang on too long and Warren Buffett’s recent CEO pay rant to the relative housing markets here and there to how tough it is to find a job these days. Good luck Rob and don’t forget us Valley bloggers!
Sidenote: The Buffett link was via MetaFilter, which is having quite the little discussion over the reality of 2nd Richest Man’s remarks.
