On Stuff That Matters: Video Interview with Tim O'Reilly</b></a><br>
Over the past few months Josh Ross has been interviewing various people
that are "on our Radar" so to speak. So last week Kirk Walter grabbed
his camera and Tim and Josh took a walk behind the O'Reilly offices in
Sebastopol. They had a wide-ranging discussion (from Government to
Cloud
Computing) but started off with the theme that ran through many of
Tim's
talks last year; "Work on Stuff that Matters." These videos are a
companion piece to Tim's recent blog post, of the same name. </p>
