Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2011 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

I am on my couch in New York City. My Dutch colleague, who also works from home, is waiting with me on the conference call. We're waiting for the San Francisco folks to show up for the call. I can hear that he's watching a video of us doing karaoke together in November, in Mumbai. He was singing Aqua's "Barbie Girl".
