A few weeks from now I'll be flying west to participate in my first MIX conference (which I've just learned is sold out)! Are you going? Let me know and we can connect! I'll try to Twitter which sessions and events I'll be attending. Can't make MIX? No

This is an interesting video about people who can't break themselves free of their online connections, be it email, blogs, surfing, twitter, what have you. I suppose it's a tough problem for one to recognize in oneself, but isn't that true of any addiction?

We had the unfortunate situation of an attendee having a seizure just minutes into the MSDN event today in Raleigh, NC. I'm very impressed by the number of fellow attendees who rushed to his aid and waited by his side until the paramedics arrived. To

For the longest time I was bummed that when I'd get an attachment in email that was a DOCX, XLSX or PPTX file, I couldn't read it on my Windows Mobile 5.0 Qtek 9100. Well now I'm happy because there's an upgrade that lets you do just that. Download it

We all take it for granted that, more or less, there's a separation between hardware and software . I mean, we can take any computer and "repave" it with a fresh install of Windows, and frequently even a newer version. Servers, desktops, laptops, even

If you want to see the inane details, fleeting thoughts and singleton events of a Developer Evangelist with Microsoft, you can now do so by following my twitter feed . Don't say I didn't warn you... :)

My current favorite show is HBO's Flight of the Conchords . It's a quirky, sometimes surreal show (but not as surreal as, say, a David Lynch film ). HBO just announced they are renewing the show for another season , so I'm thrilled! For a taste of how

OK I don't post links to videos, but I enjoyed this one because Survivor is yelling my name. Just watch...

Well, OK, he contributed to its well-being. We had some MSDN Events this week that were in need of a presenter because one of ours moved on recently. I was almost called into action to cover these - which normally would have been no problem except that

It's a good thing I don't have any events and webcasts today because I have completely lost my voice after a bout with a sore throat this week. It's also a good thing I don't have webcasts today because they are putting a new roof on my house and it's

Looking for a hotel bill on the floor inside my bedroom door. Looking for a USA Today outside of said door. Needing to stop and think how to set the alarm on my own clock radio. Being surprised that the first channel I see upon turning on the TV is not

I've got a nephew who's trying to break into the computer industry. He's one of those kids who can build machines, install an OS, configure networking, etc. But he sells himself short on his potential - which I know is huge. He says he's a very hard worker,

I'm finding it hard to imagine that two years ago today, I walked into the Microsoft office in Atlanta, filled out my new hire paperwork, and within a few days was on a plane hurtling towards my first team meeting in Lake Tahoe. Over these past 2 years,

I know I should change. There’s a better way. There’s a search engine that doesn’t support a different company. There’s a search engine that actually gives a better user experience. There’s a search that needs my help (and
