I haven't had the chance to write an introduction on who I am and how I ended up at Microsoft. I'll hopefully do that soon :)

But for now, I just wanted to share a GREAT tip that I got from someone when I first started here two months ago. It's probably not a big deal but I didn't realize I could do this. And that is when viewing the plethora of web casts and NEO (new employee orientation) videos, you can watch them on FAST! I don't know exactly how much faster it plays videos/sound clips but it's at least a third faster. Of course with it on "fast", sound will sound a little cartoonish, but I haven't encountered a clip that was played too fast and that I couldn't still understand everything that was being spoken.

Incase you don't know how to watch a clip on 'Fast', go up to the FILE menu in Windows Media Player and click PLAY -> PLAY SPEED  -> FAST. You, like me, will save so much time!

Thanks, GW!
