Hey, I didn't write that Rick!  :-P  Btw, Joe Gallo is a riot, and
also my old sf roommate.  We went to school together.  Some of you may
have met him at SVLUG a few months ago or at an event here or there in
the city.  Since he is so busy with his startup at blinkx.com, he
needs to get his checkups to go...while in full stride, sprinting back
and forth between work and home ... while he steals free wifi and
codes circles around google competitors...
