Bill Gates is making me a fan. It looks like he's serious about this whole helping out the world thing (in case you didnt hear, he announced that he'll take more of a backseat at Microsoft to work more on his and his wife's Foundation stuff). Just imagine how many lives he could (and probably has already) save and/or improve. Bill and Melinda and Bono and Jeff Sachs are getting major brownie points with me (which is of course why they're doing it all :)) Regardless of the criticisms put their way (like Bono being self-righteous or annoying or Sachs not producing legitimate scholarship) their hearts and heads seem in the right place, and they seem to be doing major concrete good. That rocks.
