Into The Mind of Bill

TechtalkRadio Original Crew
When we started the radio show, it was in Palm Springs on the KPSI-AM Station. Mike O’Brien, Bill Grace and I had heard that Bill Gates had a home not far away in Indian Wells and always wondered if he ever checked out the only Tech Show on the Radio in Palm Springs back then. We did get a guy named Bill Gates call into our show once but..not THE Bill Gates.

While I will have to juggle Downton Abbey, Rambo Last Blood and Ad Astra this weekend, I still have to be sure to catch Between Two Ferns: The Movie on Netflix. To be honest I have already snuck in about 15 minutes of it while at work and am still laughing.

Another Must see on Netflix this Weekend is Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates. The show is a 3 Part Documentary of Bill Gates, What got him started, what motivates him and of course his thoughts on where we are going with Technology. Let’s face it, Bill helped drive computer technology with the Windows Operating System in Homes and Small Business. We look forward to this one as well, but it will have to wait till I finish Between Two Ferns. – Andy
