I'd like to welcome everyone to my blog!  I've actually had this blog online for a while now, but never got around to posting anything to it.  However, I just gave a talk at MIX '07 and posted my blog's URL in one of the slides, so it's time to start writing.  :)

Here is the abstract for the talk:

Building Rich, Interactive E-commerce Applications Using ASP.NET and Silverlight
Speaker(s): Ori Gershony - Microsoft, Mark Townsend - Microsoft
Audience(s): Business Decision Maker, Designer, Developer
Come get a sneak preview of the direction that Microsoft is taking to extend ASP.NET to build Rich Interactive applications.  In this session, we'll focus on e-commerce scenarios enabling developer and designers to create easily extensible and customizable applications that use .NET and Silverlight as the foundation.  See some of the initial concepts currently being developed and find out how you can be part of the community that shapes future extensions to ASP.NET.
 
About me:  I've been a developer at Microsoft for just under 10 years.  Currently I'm the development manager for the Commerce and Hosting team.  In previous jobs I was the development lead for the CLR JIT compiler team, and an SDE in the Windows team.
 
Feel free to mail me or post questions or suggestions on areas that you'd like to see me write about.  My blog will be mostly about Commerce and Hosting, though I might also write about interesting technologies that I'm learning about.
