Windows Mobile Smackdown @ Tech-Ed

jasonlan — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:09:33 GMT

Each year at our internal technical conferences (Dangerous) Dan Arildson and myself have delivered a session called the Windows Mobile Smackdown.

We even recorded a video through Channel 8 of our antics at last one which got published earlier this year.

The Smackdown is a session where we show cool applications and solutions for Windows Mobile. It is all Live demos - no safety nets.

We got asked to do the same session at Tech-Ed US this year and Dan and I hit 21 of 21 demos all live - no failures!

Tech-Ed Blogger Lounge - Come and Say Hi! Wednesday 10th 3 to 4pM

jasonlan — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 23:37:00 GMT

One thing that always is frustrating after you've given a talk at a conference is that there is normally only a short gap before someone else is due to present which makes it difficult to take questions and have discussions.

This year the Tech-Ed team have setup a specific Blogger Lounge so ANYONE can just drop by and meet any of the bloggers and speakers attending Tech-Ed 2008.

I'm going to be there between 3pm and 4pm on the Wednesday 10th June so if you read my blog or attended one of my sessions pop by and say Hi!

(Even if you don't want to talk to me the lounge has Power and Wireless Internet ;) )

In case we haven't met before - this is me :)

Tech-Ed US 2008 - I'm Here - are you?

jasonlan — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:30:00 GMT

I arrived late last night for Tech-Ed US 2008 and have spent today familiarising myself with the surroundings and getting ready for TechEd!

I always love to stay close to the Convention Centre wherever I am so the picture above taken from my hotel room demonstrates I can't get much closer!!! I'm staying at the Rosen Centre hotel literally opposite the convention centre.

I love coming to America as it always reminds me how to do things on a BIG scale and Tech-Ed this year will be huge!

Talking of huge - I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw the Geek Squads Home Theater Installation Trucks outside Best Buy! I'd love to be the proud owner of a TV that required a Van that big to deliver it!!
