He being me of course. Me being Stanley. Known as Stan to many. I really think my girlfriend is officially the only person who calls me Stanley. And my family calls me Timmy. That's been my name longer than anything because my dad's name is Stanley. But I have a middle name and he doesn't. So if I have a son will he be Stanley the Third, or Stanley Jr?  Hmmmmm My friends of over 10 years still laugh uncontrollably when they hear a family member call me Timmy. And recently a 10 year old cousin of mine was thoroughly shocked when he found out my name was actually Stanley, the same as his uncle who happens to be my father. And I'm sure anyone from work or college reading this is suprised that everyone at home calls me Timmy. Anyway...  I just got an internal e-mail of the monthly blog stats* and remembered that I actually had a blog at one point in time. I read a lot of blogs now so I figured why not get back to my own. I read a lot of Hip-Hop and Tech blogs. Oh yeah, and friend's blogs too, mostly all using RSS. I read the EEC's (where I work) internal blog for updates on visiting customer's and partner's testing. There is an external blog that hasn't been updated in a while. I read Windows Mobile (internal and external) because WiMo (that's what they call it) v6 is on the way and I need a new phone and want to know stuff about the OS. I still have this. I read ASP.NET, Office 2007, IE, google etc etc blogs.

Things have been cool since 9/06. I've hosted several customers/partners in our enterprise lab here and started work on a new dev project that I'll discuss later. Windows Vista and Office 2007 shipped. I actually helped! I won a Zune a few weeks ago! I've been to a few career fair events at a conference and on campus on behalf of MS and talked to students. The usual. I went to Louisiana for Thanksgiving, Los Angeles for X-mas/New Years. USC won the Rose Bowl and will make into March Madness! We had a windstorm with a crazy several day long power outage and snowstorm in Seattle. It's warming up though and the summer is beautiful here. I can't think of much else at the moment so have a good day and check back later.

*Feb 2007 my blog was ranked #1409 of 4133 in total reads among msdn blogs with about 2,000 more web views than RSS views. In a crazy coincidence, my office neighbor who sits next door to me and I shared an office with for a total of about 2 years a while ago has 8(!) more reads than me. Neither of us have blogged in months.
