Please provide a tweet-sized synopsis of your life after Cornell:
1 wife, 2 boys in NorCal and a dog.  Still thinking outside the box and looking to make the world a little better.

In what year did you last set foot on the Ithaca campus, and what was the purpose of your visit?
Like a salmon, I make annual visits to Ithaca and Trumansburg to visit good friends.

Which piece of advice or information acquired at Cornell turned out to be completely WRONG?
"No one will want to play that stupid 'Adventure' game."

Share any random or surprising encounters with Cornell or Cornellians since you left.
Last year at CES I learned of another Doug Bates Cornell alum.  He DJ'd at WVBR.  That was a confusing conversation for quite a while....
