Thank You, Robert Scoble and Sridhar Vembu

Remember when I said that my worlds were colliding? My colleague Martha sent me a link to Robert Scoble's blog today in which he interviews Sridhar Vembu, CEO of a company called Zoho. After the interview, they went for coffee and their conversation took a detour into a frank discussion of Sridhar's experiences as the parent of a child with autism. I never expected to find something like that in the course of a normal work day, and I just wanted to extend my thanks to both Robert and Sridhar for sharing this story in such an unexpected and visible place--especially on a day when the Internet is abuzz with rumors that Microsoft will buy Yahoo! (Robert is an ex senior guy at Microsoft). Talk about having your priorities straight!

Susan, thanks for posting this. It was very interesting and if you follow the links in the comments, they lead to some of my favorite articles out there. I also learned of a book on childhood vaccinations I'm going to order for my clinic. Thanks for spreading the word!
