There is a joke in Silicon Valley that one of the levels of success is "Your new company issues a press release that you've been hired."

It goes something like:

You know you are successful in Silicon Valley when:

followed by silly things like "You are Time's Man of the Year" or "On Wired's most Influential list" that sort of thing.

I guess that's why it's called "Silicon Valley" rather than "Sense of Humor Valley."

I sincerely hope that he will write some code. Keeping him busy just lecturing and giving talks will be like hiring Michael Jordan only to play baseball...
