Microsoft uses open source? OMG, LOL and what not
Sometimes I read something in the "tech press" about Microsoft and get endlessly annoyed. I may have decided to leave the company, but quite honestly it's a lot like the feeling you get when you graduate from college. For better or worse, it'll always...
My departure from Microsoft
Whoa, I just realized that I never really announced here that I've decided to leave Microsoft. Actually, left, is more like it, since I'm currently on vacation. Nothing really exciting or controversial about it, just a list of reasons why it makes sense...
New job at Microsoft (and see you at Mix!)
After almost a year and a half, I'm leaving my dev position in Server and Tools Online to be a program manager in the SQL Azure BI organization. My motivation for the change probably doesn't matter much to people reading this blog, but I will say that...
Installing Visual Studio 2010 SP1 or Windows Phone tools in your VM (danger!)
If you've read my blog for any amount of time, you probably know that I tend to develop stuff in a Parallels VM on a Mac. It's how I roll. I like VM's because I can trash them and do really stupid things with beta software. That said, there is a pain...
Windows Phone 7 review
I finally got around to composing some thoughts on what I think about Windows Phone 7, and I posted those impressions on my personal blog . I'll save a few bytes and not repost it here. It should be obvious that my general impression is overwhelmingly...
Windows Phone 7 with your Mac
Yes, I might report to the Death Star every morning and Darth Ballmer (and I like it, too), but it's true that I still have plenty o' Macs around the house. I'm just not able to be religious one way or another, even for the company I work for. But you...
Preview updated for POP Forums v9 for ASP.NET MVC3 Beta 1 posted to CodePlex
Just a quick note to let folks know that I updated the October preview for the forum app to use the new dependency injection hotness found in beta 1 of the next ASP.NET MVC framework. Get those bits here. Brad Wilson has a great post on what that new...
Microsoft is...
It sounds like something to write in a one year anniversary post, but I have to say that I get slightly annoyed at what people say Microsoft is. It's the typical news story and blog comment noise, and I probably shouldn't care, but it still annoys me...
My first Nerd Dinner
I went to my first Nerd Dinner today. For those of you not aware, our fearless community ninja manager, Scott Hanselman , organizes get togethers for code monkeys and the Microsoft folk that love them. It's a great chance to get out and meet people, find...
Exciting product releases (and one disappointing thing) with Mix10
Sadly, I'm not at Mix this year, for the first time in a few years. It's a little harder to go if you work for Microsoft, oddly enough. And then there's this little guy next to me, who at ten days old really needs his daddy to be around! But oh, the excitement...
