What do you want to talk about?
I just had a curious thought, what is it that you'd like me to talk about on this blog. In that, given I have access to various amount of information, people and technology within Microsoft (externally as well) - what is it you'd like me to discuss in

I'm on DG.TV
Michael Kordahi - aka DelicateGenius decided to interview me on my last day at Microsoft Australia. It just occurred to me that I've never really done a video interview before (I usually turn them down), mainly because I'm a shy guy when it comes to camera's.

This video..well..enough said.
I noticed the blogsphere/emails internally and externally are running hot over a supposed "internal Vista video". Let me simply say this, the first I saw it and along with others I work with was via external blogs, so how internal it is is new to me.

Have we made UX to complex?
I was giggling at this Video I found on Google Video. It's basically a PR video for the Wang Freestyle. I initially made a joke that it's Adobe's new PR video for LiveCycle (heh sorry couldn't resist). One thing that did stand out about this video however

A community is defined by its actions.
I used to play World of Warcraft a lot, and my character lived in the Horde realm (therefore I was part of the Orc Community). I generally preferred to hang out at the Orc City (Origrammar) as to me that's where I belonged. That is until I began to think

I expect to now see virtual mapping in all real estate websites, otherwise you lost my business.
I'm obviously not just thinking of buying a property in the US but I'm also selling property in Australia. In doing this, I've scoured all the websites I can find, that carry out listings in both regions. The one thing that really has stuck with me are

WalkScore, very useful for a international house hunter.
I'm currently browsing the interweb, checking out houses to either buy or lease in the Seattle area. I came across this site via colleague and I must say, it's quite a great concept and technically well executed. WalkScore.com simply rates the walking

Stupid eh? Stupid like a fox..
The title - " 7 reasons not to consider using Adobe Flex ". I saw this and went "ok, I'll bite, what are they". I began to read them, and figured ok, I can see the authors perspective, if these 7 items are crucial to him then I won't
