Alfred On Channel 8

Just in case you wondered what I looked and sounded like, I am in a brief video at Channel 8 right now. This was shot at a wrap up party for members of Microsoft's worldwide academic team so the background noise is a little different from the normal interview venue. There are several other members of the team from the US and elsewhere on the short (less than two minutes) video.

I'm still in Seattle all this week by the way. I am having a wonderful time meeting Microsoft employees from all over the world at an event called TechReady 6. This is a twice a year training event and there are 6,000 Microsoft employees from the field here for the week. What an exciting event. I am making new friends and putting faces to names I know from email and blogs. I love making the real life connections.

Plus of course I am learning a lot about recently (and soon to be) announced products. I hope to be blogging some of those things soon.
