This is what's cool about the Internet. A Microsoft intern gets to have dinner (as part of a group) with Bill Gates — and through the intern's blog, everyone can get a peak at this once-in-a-lifetime sort of opportunity.

In ten minutes there was a donut or toroid of geekdom surrounding Bill that was three or four people deep, but after a few minutes I had worked my way to the front and got to spend about two hours standing with him, talking to him, and mostly listening to his responses to other people's questions.
(On a sidenote, and perhaps just because of my own geekery, I love the preciseness of "toroid" in that description.)
