Greetings From Melbourne

I promised myself I'd blog during this trip, so -- here it is -- 5AM local tiime, and I'm done sleeping for a while.  No better time to sit down and bang out a quick post.

Not surprisingly, Melbourne is an interesting city -- there's a unique visual and cultural style here that's quite appealing.  My wife is a tennis fan, so every time I come down this way I get reminded that I owe her a trip to the Australian Open -- the "opener" for the pro tennis tour.

Publicly, I'm here to keynote at the EMC Inform events, and do a few press interviews.  Privately, I'm here to talk to people, and update my impressions of what's going on in the Aussie IT world.
