Steve,
I will miss you: bar coding, writing your examples in three different languages *just for fun*, but especially watching you during your always brilliant conference presentations. You are the only person I know who describes source code using their entire body! I've always likened your technical presentations to interpretive dance.
Good luck with your ventures!
I hope that we have occasion to cross paths in the future.
Sincerely,
Eli
