Happy birthday Channel Nine! In this episode I finally discover why it is that Charles picked me to be the guinea pig, and I wax verbose on the subject of human brains.

Good heavens, this just keeps on happening to me.

If you're interested in what we're musing about for future versions of C#, check out this video of Anders Hejlsberg, Scott Wiltamuth, Paul Vick, Mads Torgersen, Matt Warren, Jim Hugunin and, off in one corner, me.

Working with this caliber of people every day is a huge part of what makes this the best job ever.

A Face Made For Email, Part Two

One year ago this week I was the Channel Nine guinea pig -- I'm still not sure why, but for some reason The Scobelizer and his cohort chose me to be the first guy interviewed for their project. (Probably because I'm mostly harmless.)

Channel Nine has succeeded tremendously, and I'm very pleased to have been a part of it at its birth. Recently Charles and Robert tracked me down and cornered me in a room with a really big XBOX screen to talk about Visual Studio Tools For Office and how we use .NET code access security.

If you've got 53 minutes to kill and you want to hear me ramble on about what I love to talk about most, check it out.

A Face Made For Email

A few weeks ago, Charles Torre and The Scobelizer showed up in my office with a hand-held camera, asked me a bunch of random questions for a couple hours, edited the video into bite-sized chunks and slapped it up on the web.

It's a blog, it’s a wiki, it’s a forum, it's a bunch of videos of geeks geeking out -- frankly, I'm not sure what exactly this whole Channel 9 thing is. I'm not sure that Charles and Robert know either, but I'm sure that we'll find out as the experiment continues!

Anyway, if you ever wanted (for some perverse reason) to know what people like me, Mike Howard, and the rest of us look and sound like, now you can find out why we mostly rely upon written forms of communication to get our points across. This was my first time ever being interviewed on video, and it was Charles' and Robert's first time doing the interviews -- I was their guinea pig. I've never had any media training, and it shows. Good heavens, you should see the uncut video! I'm constantly fidgeting and going off into non sequiturs. I had no idea that my hands were actually in shot. Live and learn I suppose.
