last night.&amp;#160; For those of you that didn’t get a chance to get the &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/tag"&gt;Microsoft Tag&lt;/a&gt; leading to the download, here it is again (or just click on the image and go straight to my SkyDrive).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now for the Ahnold reference… yes, indeed, I’ll be returning to Syracuse on Thursday, March 5th on the &lt;a href="http://msdnevents.com"&gt;MSDN Events&lt;/a&gt; circuit.&amp;#160; It’s a free afternoon of three different presentations on Windows Azure, Debugging Tips and Tricks, and Windows Mobile Development, so we’ll be all over the map in terms of Microsoft technologies.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; The event is being held at the Regal Carousel Mall Stadium 17 in Syracuse.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?culture=en-US&amp;amp;EventID=1032402403"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Register right here, right now.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9415044" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/archive/tags/New+York/default.aspx">New York</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/archive/tags/User+Group/default.aspx">User Group</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/archive/tags/MSDN/default.aspx">MSDN</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/archive/tags/Azure/default.aspx">Azure</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/archive/tags/cloud+computing/default.aspx">cloud computing</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/archive/tags/ADO.NET+Data+Services/default.aspx">ADO.NET Data Services</category></item><item><title>Get Your Head in to the Cloud</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/archive/2008/11/26/get-your-head-in-to-the-cloud.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:30:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9144859</guid><dc:creator>joneil</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/comments/9144859.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/commentrss.aspx?PostID=9144859</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/jimoneil/WindowsLiveWriter/GetYourHeadintotheCloud_A184/image_2.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px;

The recent &lt;a href="http://microsoftpdc.com/"&gt;PDC&lt;/a&gt; was full of announcements around &lt;a href="http://www.azure.com"&gt;Windows Azure&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/azure/whatisazure.mspx"&gt;Azure Services Platform&lt;/a&gt; (or was it the Azure Platform Services!), &lt;a href="http://dev.live.com/"&gt;Live Services&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/azure/sql.mspx"&gt;SQL Services&lt;/a&gt;, ....&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it all.&amp;nbsp;
