Mix09: Overall thoughts
As I mentioned during the conference, it suddenly seemed very silly to me to be blogging about the conference, when there was already plenty of that going on. I know I found it annoying that my RSS feeds were filled with posts about the same things, so...

Mix09, not blogging
I've decided that there's little reason to be blogging about Mix. It would just be noise. There are so many people already doing it that I don't feel I have much to add. Of course, I'll have my wrap up thoughts eventually. And boy do I have a rant about...

Mix09 Twittering
I've poo-poo'd Twitter before, because I haven't found it to be anything other than another channel to keep up with, but I'll try being active about using it whilst at Mix this week. If I make meaningful connections (and find fun people to hang with at...
Mix09, with Mac in tow
This will be my third Mix now, and what a strange road it has been for me. The first one I went to on my own dime, sort of, in that the conference was free but travel was my thing. That was a perk of just having a book published. Then the conference got...
Leaving for Mix09 in a week!
Wow, time flies, and it's almost here . I'm assuming that attendance is not sold out with all of the hotel and registration discounts, but I'm really looking forward to it. The quality of sessions was off the charts solid last year. If anyone wants to...
FJCore updates... perhaps coming soon
I had an exchange with one of the guys from Occipital , who maintain the FJCore library . For those of you not playing along, this is a pure C# implementation for basic JPEG manipulation. It doesn't depend on the .NET Framework in any way, which means...
Leo Laporte and TWIT are getting out of touch: "Web developers don't like Microsoft"
I was listening to TWIT #136 and, wow, Leo Laporte is totally out of touch. Patrick Norton is not far behind. Listen starting around 36:30. I've found that lately these guys are hanging out in Pundit Valley and completely missing what's going on in the...
Mix08: Some overall impressions
I've got two more sessions to go, but while it's fresh in my mind, I'd like to rattle off some overall impressions of this conference. When it's over, I'm going to purge my brain with alcohol, gambling and shows. First off, what I dig about this conference...

Mix08: The future of advertising
Like a moron, I didn't realize that the added session on Hard Rock's Silverlight memorabilia site was first, not last, today, so I went to a really boring session on what Microsoft thinks the future of advertising is. And the truth is, I don't think they...

Mix08: ASP.NET MVC
Not surprisingly, the ASP.NET MVC session last night was absolutely packed. Scott Hanselman, as it turns out, is a pretty dynamic speaker, and frankly pretty funny. MVC is a very computer sciencey kind of concept, but it's also a very neat way to generate...
