There are some very smart people at EMC but two of the guys I never get to spend enough time with are Steve Todd and Mich Fisher.
Though the last time all of us were together Mich and I started talking about the changes in Dungeons & Dragons Online only for sports jock Steve to get this distant glazed over look in his eye.
Now, Mich’s last product idea won the EMC Innovation Award and shipped as Iomega v.Clone. Before that he was at Revivio where I think they possibly invented CDP (I’m not willing to start a war on who was there first as he’ll say they were) amd has been knocking around the industry since before I was in nappies.
The first time I spoke with him he had done some insane file system work that unfortunately never saw the light of day as who knows what hell it would have unleashed. But that ability to look at something at an angle just a bit skewed from everyone else is a benefit not a drawback.
A a frequent buyer of consumer storage an a gaming nut myself I look forward to reading his blog posts.
