Tech·Ed 2005 is only 13 weeks away. It's in Orlando, and that means it's going to be a great time. I love Orlando. The usual cadre of Office devleoper suspects will be there and ready to jam. OfficeZealot kingpin, Chris, partner-in-crime, Charles, and I are planning our Minnesota reunion. We'll see if we can corral Matt Nunn and bring him back to the Office fold.

I'm presenting two sessions at the show:

Developing Word XML Solutions

Smart Documents: Contextualized Document Authoring

 Rock Thought for the Day: Ozzy is coming out with a box set on March 22nd with a ridiculous title, "Prince of Darkness". Now, I don't have TV at home, but once while at a hotel, I saw a few minutes of the so-called reality show in which he starred.

It's regrettable that he focused so much on the theatrics over the years, because the much of the music stands well on its own. Prince of Darkness: no (gratefully). Prince of savvy commercialism: yes. But, maybe there is no difference after all...
