At the office, we host a weekly speaker series. It's called "Tech Talk." We've had leading scientists, professors, and business leaders from the tech industry come speak to us. The Tech Talk is usually during lunch, so people just go to the cafeteria, get some food, and listen to some smart guy (or sometimes, gal) talk. These events are usually sparsely attended. I mean, do I really care if the world's leading authority on quantum computing is here to talk about how his research can lead to processors that solve NP-Complete problems in polynomial time? C'mon! What we all want to know is how to get computers to download porn faster.
But anyway, this week was no ordinary week for Tech Talk. At around 11:30am, I started to hear the buzz. People in the hallway were saying things like, "Are you going to get your lunch early and grab a seat in the front?" People at the urinals were saying things like, "Are you going?" "Yeah!" I had scheduled a team lunch to welcome someone who just joined the company. But due to overwhelming demand from other people on the team, I had to re-schedule.
Why? Because the "PC" guy from the Mac & PC commercials was in the house. He came to our New York office to give this week's Tech Talk. We even did live video conference to 4 other offices, 2 of which were international. The guy spoke for an hour and then signed autographs and copies of his book for a full hour after that. At some point, he might have gotten a BJ, but I can't say for sure.
