Around lunch time, Mr. Gosling stopped by our New Tech Demo booth at Siggraph ’08 and we had a blast showing off the printer and chatting with him for a while. My personal favorite was listening to him and Lex go back and forth on the nitty gritty technology about how the printer is built; and the stories of past projects he was involved in. It was truly great meeting; such a gracious and supportive man, and we can’t thank him enough for taking the time. Who knows, maybe we will meet him at the next JavaOne conference and … Okay, not going to finish that joke

Here is James Gosling’s weblog and we are on it!

Best,
