Updating the list spurs more updates, as I add the aptly named Paul Webb to the Aussie .NET Blogger list.
We now have 88 members of the list!. How long before we get to 100?

I've just looked and noticed it's been months since I have updated the Aussie .NET Blogger list.
I have a few changes to the list, and I have been slack in making the changes.
Let us welcome John Magner, Damien Edwards (who is going to Tech.Ed) and Darren Gosbell (who is also going to Tech.Ed).
Apologies for the delay gentleman.

If the lightbulb is at Readify, then it would take seven! That's right, Readify has 7 MVPs working there. That's gotta be some kind of record or something.
Earlier this month, I posted about Paul Glavich joining Readify. It was confirmed by a number of sources, and then the delightful Kim updated the site with news that Troy Magennis was also at the company.
Talk about building a dream time of Microsoft specialists.
Good work Team!!!

Some folks ask me why I am still at Microsoft. After 14 years, surely they think I must be lacking in passion or interest or hunger for the role. How wrong folks can be.
It's announcements such as the one made a gnomedex that get me jazzed everyday. But more amazing is how the Longhorn RSS team is responded to comments in the community. Cool. It's 1995 all over again. Things are exciting and cool. Jeff, Vic and Charles are excited too.
So, why am I here? Is it to help developers build really great software using Microsoft tools & technologies? Sure, that goes without saying. But I think it's even simplier than that. Just watch the Channel 9 video
BTW Robert Scoble has again done an amazing job bringing together reactions from the blogosphere
