There you are, just minding your own business…having a cup of coffee, reading the paper of surfing the news on the ‘net and all of a sudden: HEY! I KNOW THAT GUY!!

Hopefully, when that revelation strikes you, it’s not because your long lost acquaintance has committed some grisly, heinous crime…hopefully it’s something a little more useful to society.

After a while on Earth, many of us meet so many people that eventually one of them makes news.  Such was the case for me when I read this story about a guy I went to high school with.  During my school years, I moved around a couple of times and when my Dad (a computer engineer) was transferred to a job in the fast-growing “Silicon Valley” of San Jose, I went to high school there for a year or so.  There, I met Jeff Tedesco who didn’t strike me as all that memorable then, but he’s made an impression on me now.  Anyone who has figured out a way to charge people $1.15 per CD to rip them to a hard drive, get 4 robots to do the actual work AND get the business of people like Elton John, Barry Bonds and Dave Matthews has definitely got a few things figured out!
