brian foote rethinks oopsla2004 keynotes beginning with "microsoft's homegrown research czar, rick rashid." first time the story didn't begin and stop at the point where the product presentation came. anyhow, i can't resist to say, i would love to imagine/read the talk, rashid's dog has swallowed and brian has managed to let im cough up ...

None the less, I felt like we were served left-overs, carrion, and I craved something more meaty, and more fresh. I wanted to run out to try to find Rick Rashid’s dog, to see if I could cajole him into coughing up the talk I wanted to hear instead...
