Jottings and dashing

Bill Gates was on jocular form during his keynote this morning. He mentioned the infamous memogate when he left a page of scribblings at the conference that were wrongly attributed to Tony Blair.

Thankfully he said one note wasn’t on there – why was Bill Clinton the one who got to sit next to Angelina Jolie?

He’s also got smarter about demonstrations, as a Dutch colleague pointed out. After his last encounter with the blue screen of death at he now leaves the stage with every demonstration and lets his staff do it instead. Wise PR strategy certainly, but it robs the watcher of much of the fun if things do go wrong.
