Now that I live in Palo Alto, I keep bumping into the sort of people I consider super stars, so I’ve decided to keep track of my encounters with my new “Palo Alto Sightings” category.

For example, a couple months ago I saw Alan Cooper while grocery shopping. Then, last week I saw Sue Cooper downtown. This morning I saw Nick Ragouzis (at least I think it was him, I didn’t have time to stop). And last but not least, I bumped into Steve Perlman this evening at a local sushi place.
