Who I am...
Robert Allan Jakobson... is a mid-40s Program Manager (the guy with the gray hair on the left above... the talented good looking guy on the right is my son).
[It even says so on my business cards and so it must be true right?]
What I'm up to...
These days I'm over at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond. I'm working with the Windows Unlimited Potential Program bringing Windows to the OLPC XO which you can read more about here...

So what did I do on it? I was / am a Program Manager working with the Driver Development teams under Bohdhan and John who you see in the photos. I'm under an NDA for a lot of my work - but it's been such a great experience I had to share it once it went public. :-)
Hats off to the team - they're one of the best on the planet. Congrats!
