December 18 Windows Live Web Activities ExplainedCommonCraft posted a video that explains a bit about web activities in Windows Live Wave 3. The approach is very creative and they do a great job of storytelling. This release of Windows Live is very focused on bringing the many disconnected sites that make up our social graphs (Twitter, Facebook, Pandora, etc.) together in one place for the people we connect with…without forcing us to change our Technorati Tags: Windows Live habits or where we post. Its like a lot of really great things in life that are vaguely interesting until you try them, and then they become indispensible (DVRs, for example). Check it out: July 16 We're in your hotelz saturatn ur interwebzMicrosoft has invaded Atlanta, GA for MGX, our annual sales conference. With this many geeks in one location, the interwebs are totally feeling the pain :-) March 16 Michael Scherotter interview with Ice CubeI met Michael Scherotter at Seattle Mind Camp a few years ago. Michael was a developer evangelist for MindJet at the time, and he introduced me to the addictive joy (for those of us who like to think visually) of MindManager, probably the most popular of the mindmapping applications. He is a quintessential evangelist: passionate, articulate, and curious; Michael is seriously interested in what you do and loves to come up with new ways to make it better for you. Microsoft is a lucky company for recruiting him. It's worth checking out his interview with Ice Cube over on Channel9.
Link: Interview with Ice Cube November 11 Winding down from the Windows Vista RTM menagerieHit the hay at 11pm last night...woke up at 11am this morning. Well, I didn't so much wake up as got prodded awake by Josi who was sick of being cooped up and needed me conscious enough to answer when she asked if she could go out to play.
A hits of java later and I was awake enough to realize I hadn't exactly fulfilled my sleep debt, but I did make a big enough payment to keep the my kneecaps.
I have some photos and lots of video from this week that would be interesting to post. And now that I'm armed with a Soapbox account and a < 120 hour work week I'll see about starting this whole blogging (as the kids call it) thing by getting some content up. January 02 Welcome back RussellRussell Beattie just announced he's switching back to Windows. I read Russell's posts on his decision to switch to the Mac about a year ago with a lot of interest. At the time I was working on presentations and demos that showed examples of Experience Computing, and Mac switchers writing about their reasons were extremely interesting reading.
Welcome back to the chaos, and the fun :-) Loving the Disney Scene ItDawn's dad lives in FL near Orlando and is an unabashed amusement park junkie and Disney-phile. For Christmas this year he sent us Disney Scene It? Deluxe...boy did he nail the perfect gift for us. The Calafatos are a competitive family, and with a 7 year old and an almost 5 year old in the house Disney is a one of the few subjects over which we can compete relatively equally. We've been enjoying at least an hour of gameplay daily since we cracked it open. If you like Disney movies, this is a must have.
June 02 India Infoline News reports on TechEd IndiaIndia Infoline is reporting on the largest TechEd in India yet... [link] Almost TechEd time...Dick Carlson, the guy who owns TechEd Hands-on Labs, is already down there getting things set up for opening day. He emailed this photo to me this morning...the PCs are humming, next step is wiring them up to the network.
