I received my copy of the October issue of Technology Review magazine yesterday. This issue is where they announce the receipients of their “Top 100 Young Innovators” for the year. To my surprise, I recognized two names (and one picture): Dr. Anuj Batra of TI and David Brussin of TurnTide/Symantec.

I knew Dr. Batra when he was a grad student at Georgia Tech. I was a staff Unix admin for the ECE department. We had a common taste in music (and Beavis & Butthead, but that’s another issue) that led to seeing catherine wheel in concert, managing a mailing list and discussion room for the band Our Lady Peace, amoungst others.

David I know from his days as a consultant to my current employeer, and I’ve always enjoyed working with him.

Congratulations to Anuj and David, and to all the TR100 recipients.
