This day comes to all of us sooner or later. I am amazed at the great work you did at IBM, and I know you will discover/create a new and exciting path outside IBM too. IBM talent pool keeps amazing me, and you are another one of those really bright creative people I met there. Keep in touch. Come over to the Lake Huron beach in the summer and definitely come by to see me. Now that you'll be home more, I can actually come to see you on weekends now. Love. Wow, I just learned this news.

You saw the IBM potential for Web 2.0 way before I could dream of it. Thanks for being a doer.

I've never had the pleasure to 'meet' you face to face but I want you to know that as someone quite new to IBM, following you on the IBM tools, I do feel like I had the opportunity to at least know you a bit. Your writings here have had an influence on me and helped me to over come some of the fear of the openness required of a blog. Thank you very much for what you've done for me and I hope you have the same opportunity to do the same in your new role! (posted inside the Blue Wall as well)

Either way, I do hope you have got a chance to make it to Enterprise 2.0 in Boston and we have a chance to catch up over a beer or two. There are a bunch of IBMers making it there, so it would be perhaps the perfect chant for a "So long" drink kind of thing and ideal to find out some more what you will be up to ;-) Take good care, best of luck and GO RAPTORS!!!

I'm not actually feeling much of a separation anxiety yet, but maybe I'm naively assuming that 2.0 can effectively keep people in touch. I guess I'll find out one way or the other.

If I manage to do 10% of what you do, I'll be a happy man. One day we'll find you found the formula to not sleep or human cloning or time travelling.
