    « Watching John Dvorak twitter in the Air France lounge. | Main | Norovirus at Java One (but I was in Seoul) »

    Still at the Seoul Digital Forum -- and Bill Gates showed ....

    Sort of. Gates was in Seoul, a few miles away, but he chose (or his handlers chose) to address us via video.

    Disappointing. You'd think he'd drive a few miles to visit with us after meeting South Korea's new president. But no.

    On the great side, Sumner Redstone showed up with a great speech, Scott Page (Pink Floyd) jammed on stage at tonight's speakers' dinner, and my panel is over with 4 days left in the beautiful city of Seoul.

    I had a chance to speak to Sumner Redstone (chairman, Viacom) and asked him if it was really true that drinking Mona Vie was going to give him many more decades of life. (My mother-in-law claimed this a few months ago, and yes, it is true.

    He told me he drinks that, eats spinach, green tea, red wine and various other antioxidants. He looks like a million bucks.

    Spent the evening with John Dvorak and a table full of some of the brightest minds I've witnessed.

    Tomorrow, I'll give you the url so you can see the performances themselves. Too late now. 3 a.m. Korea time, but I'm still on California time.

    If you find it, let me know what you thought of my panel!
