MVPs, VB and Me
21 April 08 07:15 PM
The MVP summit was last week -- my first summit where I wasn't an MVP but instead an employee -- and what an enjoyable experience it was! It was awesome seeing MVPs from all over the world. Microsoft really throws a great summit, this year renting out Read More...

Happy Anniversary -- 1 Year at Microsoft -- I made it!
19 March 08 02:11 PM
Today is my one year anniversary here at Microsoft. I can't believe how time flies - it must be because I've had so much fun creating content and engaging with online community this past year. The VB Dev Center has come a long way in that time and I'm Read More...

Happy Halloween!
31 October 07 08:00 AM
One of my very favorite holidays is Halloween. I've always loved dressing up as something really gross or scary and freaking people out. Every year I throw a costume party the Saturday before Halloween. This year I was a demon and Alan was the devil. Read More...

Beth's Boo Boo
25 October 07 03:30 PM
No this isn't a Halloween "Boo" as in ghost, but rather a big boo boo or small-ish injury to my thumb. :-( I ended up in the emergency room yesterday because I slammed my thumb in a folding ladder. I knew the instant it happened it was bad news. It felt Read More...

Today marks my 1/2 year anniversary at Microsoft - wow - it's gone by so fast! I guess because I've been so busy trying to bring you the best Visual Basic content and a fresh Developer Center . I have enjoyed every minute I've spent on doing videos, writing Read More...

I'm Up in Redmond This Week
21 June 07 11:15 PM
I've been up in Redmond all week filming videos of the VB team and having a lot of productive back-to-back meetings :-). We're going to start releasing these videos on Channel9 once the editing is completed and I think you're going to really enjoy them. Read More...

Happy Birthday, Pop!
03 May 07 06:14 PM
Today is my father's birthday and I couldn't be with him today because I'm up in Redmond. He told me this morning that he was going to go golfing with his friend Ron. My pop's been into golf ever since he retired last year. I think my mom is happy he Read More...

Two Annoying Vista Problems Solved!
19 April 07 02:54 PM
Okay I admit it. I like Vista. I didn't want to like it, really. I'm a VB developer, not a gamer, not a heavy office user, I know the difference between an .exe and a .dll, I keep my own dang files organized -- I don't need the OS to index anything while Read More...

Visual Basic Community Page Update!
31 March 07 01:04 AM
Well its only my second week here at Micorsoft and I'm still "drinking from the firehose" as they say, but I wanted to thank Kerby over at MSDN for implementing some simple ideas I had for the VB Community page . It's nice to see my first small accomplishment Read More...

I've Officially Moved
27 March 07 01:14 PM
I posted an official "I've Moved to MSDN" post to my old DotNetFox blog . There's a lot of good content still over there, but since I'm now writing VB content for MSDN it makes more sense to post here from now on. I'm hoping to pick up more readers! And Read More...

Yes, I swallowed the red pill, drank the koolaid, been assimilated, whatever...
22 March 07 06:27 PM
That's right folks, I joined Microsoft on Monday! (Right after the MVP summit, of course.) I'm very excited about my new position writing content for the Visual Basic Developer Center and promoting the Visual Basic language in the community. I'm still Read More...
