Much more scary than doing live demos

I get nervous enough when I'm on stage, demoing beta products - especially the first time I demo stuff live (remember all the problems I had when I demoed Exchange unified messaging to a live audience when there was lots of background noise).  But sometimes I like to get scared for fun.  Like roller coaster rides, horror movies and Stephen King novels.

But this is just scary. Really My legs were twitching and trembling the whole time I watched this video.  The man is totally mad!

So I did a little bit of research on the Camino Del Rey. Thanks to Wikipedia and discovered that mad souls have been walking this highway for over 100 years now.  Even though the government has closed the road 8 years ago, people still walk the walk.  Aargh!

I think I'll stick to demos - they seem rather safe after seeing this...

Hi Eileen,

Long time no see ! :-)

I have been there a couple times, but never felt brave enough to do it myself (Yes, its really scary).

Maybe if you come over Andalucia, we can go together and try it :-)

Just curious, how did you heard about this ?? Coming to Spain soon ?

Regards,

Benjamin Mateos.

Benjamin,

It was one of those links that gets forwarded around by email and watching it made me feel like I was there. And I think I'd only be able to look at it from the bottom of that mountain.

I don't think you'd ever get me up there - I might do a bit of it on my hands and knees - but there's no way I'd be able to stand up on it.  Just thinking about it now makes me feel a bit sick!

See you in November perhaps at IT forum...
