From a programmer nerd, Schmidt has the most enviable resume. The entrepreneurs admire Jobs and Gates, but Schmidt worked his way through Bell labs, PARC, managed the release of Java, was CTO of Sun, CEO of Novell, and brought google from a well executed grad school project to dominate the internet. He turned down a job with the Obama administration to be the governments CTO. He also did all that as an academic, after getting a Ph.D. from Berkeley. He has gotten some bad press doing PR for google recently, but the man has been kicking ass in enviable positions since I was a toddler. After all that, yeah, good on him. Take some time off.
