I just had a curious thought, what is it that you'd like me to talk about on this blog. In that, given I have access to various amount of information, people and technology within Microsoft (externally as well) - what is it you'd like me to discuss in...

Michael Kordahi - aka DelicateGenius decided to interview me on my last day at Microsoft Australia. It just occurred to me that I've never really done a video interview before (I usually turn them down), mainly because I'm a shy guy when it comes to camera...

When I first started the RIA Evangelism role in Microsoft, I had this nagging feeling that the term RIA was just all over the place. Depending on which technology you are backing and which stream of alliance you uphold, the truth is the term was destined...

I noticed the blogsphere/emails internally and externally are running hot over a supposed "internal Vista video". Let me simply say this, the first I saw it and along with others I work with was via external blogs, so how internal it is is new to me....

You know those skateboards in the Silverlight intro videos, well Shane Morris (Shanemo aka UX Bloke) is about to give one of these away at ReMIX08 . This is a rare piece of schwag, in that we only have a limited number of these in place, so think of these...

I like most folks read a lot of blogs from all walks of life. Everyday I see a blog post or two around Facebook or Twitter, simply echoing either some news or why it either sucks or is the greatest thing in the world since slice bread. We, the world,...

I was giggling at this Video I found on Google Video. It's basically a PR video for the Wang Freestyle. I initially made a joke that it's Adobe's new PR video for LiveCycle (heh sorry couldn't resist). One thing that did stand out about this video however...

I used to play World of Warcraft a lot, and my character lived in the Horde realm (therefore I was part of the Orc Community). I generally preferred to hang out at the Orc City (Origrammar) as to me that's where I belonged. That is until I began to think...

Anand Iyer , an Evangelist in our ever swelling ranks of evangelism army, asked a basic question. "Q.What would you do if you were a Microsoft Evangelist". I myself have wondered as to what folks perception of Evangelism really is all about and...

I'm obviously not just thinking of buying a property in the US but I'm also selling property in Australia. In doing this, I've scoured all the websites I can find, that carry out listings in both regions. The one thing that really has stuck with me are...

I'm currently browsing the interweb, checking out houses to either buy or lease in the Seattle area. I came across this site via colleague and I must say, it's quite a great concept and technically well executed. WalkScore.com simply rates the walking...

The title - " 7 reasons not to consider using Adobe Flex ". I saw this and went "ok, I'll bite, what are they". I began to read them, and figured ok, I can see the authors perspective, if these 7 items are crucial to him then I won...

Long ( istartedsomething.com ) was tipped off by a certain mutual friend (yes I know the source Long) around this mystery woman whom keeps appearing in tech sites that have a focus on servers or virtual servers at that. Well, she's been spotted on 3 different...

I stumbled upon this site, which basically sounds like it's a pitch to change the way we Microsoftee's get around Redmond campus. I love it's concept and wish it were being implemented, but I've not heard or seen anything that would indicate this being...

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was excited to be promoted to a Product Manager role on the Rich Client Platform Team (Silverlght/WPF). Well, whilst I was at SxSW I bumped into some folks at PIXAR whom I shared a few beers with. Cut a long story...
