Through one mentor’s incredible generosity, I was humbled and honored to sit next to Alan Kay at lunch. He told me he never ate before a talk, so I didn’t feel quite so bad about all the questions I was asking. The topic was music and musical instruments. The talk was fascinating, with rich implications for thinking about human-computer interfaces. I’ll blog about this conversation at greater length soon. For now, suffice it to say that this moment was an honor far beyond my deserving. I will forever be indebted to the person who handed me this opportunity.
