Miscellaneous pointers
Just sitting here, watching the A's and Yankees play the last game of their series in NY while I check on my RSS feeds. A few interesting things:
- Robert Scoble is leaving Microsoft for a startup. Good luck, my friend. I know you'll be doing great things there - and having shared a number of flights to the Bay Area with you, I know you'll be happy being closer to your son.
- The Windows Live Dev Center is now up and running. This is the place to go for all things Live. Guess I know where I'll be spending some time today. <g>
