Sam's party and bostonites
Last night I went to a little party at Sam's place. It was fun, and
the SDM turnout was better than usual. The attendees included Alex and
his wife Irene, Matti, Marat, Deming, John H., Christian, and Alli
joined us later too. It was definitely nice to socialize with SDMers
without worrying too much about homework and other school issues.
Thanks for hosting us, Sam.
I've added a link to the bostonites ring to my blog, and added myself
to the ring. It's a collection of Boston-based bloggers.

Karim's defense and M$
Yesterday I went to Karim's dissertation defense, which he passed of

faculty attended, which I think indicates the level of interest in his
work (which is justified).
Then in The Software Business we discussed Microsoft and
standards/platforms battles. The team presenting (Biju from SDM, Tien,
and Dharmesh the founder of HubSpot) did a good job, and the class in
general had a lot of discussion. It was probably the liveliest and
most interesting class we've had yet. Professor Cusumano has a long
relationship with Microsoft including its top guys, and recounted some
of his funny stories about trying to get Bill Gates to laugh at his
jokes. Of course, he also has much valuable insight into the companies
