Microsoft Research has a thing called the Sense Cam that, as you walk around, it’s taking photos all the time.

It was always a plan that we were going to have a retail side with what were doing musically, like an Apple store or Nike Town.

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do – eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other… and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!
