Tonight I met Bill Gates

I just got back from Bill Gates' house.
I'll let that sink in for a minute.
Okay, so actually it was me and about 200 other interns at Bill Gates's house. All of the Microsoft interns get to have dinner at his house. And by met him, I mean I was one of 50 people crowding around him and asking him questions. So, not really all that impressive.
But still.
As with any Microsoft event, there are things I can't blog about due to non-disclosure crud. Interestingly, the one thing I saw tonight that I thought was interesting enough to mention here is completely in the clear:
Bill's pants had stains on them.
I'm not sure why, but I find that fact fascinating. There's something profound in that, I'm just not sure what. Perhaps it says something about his personality, or the informality of our profession, or maybe the relative importance of interns. I can't say.
I just find it fascinating.

Maybe the stained pants are like the faded jeans, but for really rich old guys.
