Expression Encoder bug
I've been working on getting the excellent video sharing site Video.Show up and running on my home server for easy sharing of home videos with friends and family.

Jewel Quest bugs
I've been playing Jewel Quest on XBox live Arcade recently. The essential point of the game is to match 3 or more gems of the same kind to color the squares they are on gold, removing them from the board, repeating until all the squares are gold.

So what exactly does an SDET do?
We're just finishing up Mid-Year discussions here at work. It's a great time to take a step back and plan out the next few years of our careers, and I thought it would be worth talking about the testing career here at Microsoft.
