First, the world finally got to know that I have been very lucky and have been asked to do the best job in the world. (To be honest, I'm still in shock and very humbled to be asked to fill some big shoes. But I'm hugely excited by the possibilities).
Second, after years of digital discussion Faris and I finally met in the real world. Which was very awesome. He's a terrifically lovely, smart and funny man. (Thanks to Cameron for the photo)
