MIX07 - SubSonic meetup - Wednesday 2 PM (updated time)
Since we've got most of the SubSonic core team here at MIX, it only makes sense to meet to brainstorm the featureset for SubSonic v.Next. We'll be meeting at 2 PM in the Mashup Lounge. SubSonic fans, please join us and let us hear how SubSonic can get even better.

MIX07 - A private Silverlight demo from ScottGu
The situation was grim. I was sitting in a hotel bar at MIX07 with Jeff Atwood, Miguel de Icaza, Phil Haack, and Rob Conery (pictured left to right). The conversation had slowed. Miguel was telling Rob why he should floss. Phil was humming showtunes. Jeff was trying harness telekinetic powers to levitate his beer. See for yourself:

[MIX07] Dinner with Miguel, Guitar Hero defeat by Hanselman
Phil Haack and I drove out Sunday afternoon. We met up with Miguel de Icaza and talked for a long time. As time went on, we added John Osborn (senior editor at O'Reilly) and Eric Kemp (Rob's right hand man on SubSonic) to the party, and headed to dinner.

Going to MIX? Get Twitter and Twitteroo!
Twitter is a simple program which lets you see what all your friends are up to - you enter a short message and all your "followers" get the update. Normally I don't care what all my friends are doing, but this kind of thing is perfect for a conference. The MIX conference folks have set up a Twitter account, so by "befriending" the MIX07 account you can get hooked up with other conference attendees.

The 9 things Microsoft SHOULD be announcing next week at MIX07 (but won't)
Microsoft has said they'll have some kind of big surprise to announce next week at the MIX07 conference in Las Vegas. If you want to hear some good guesses as to what will actually be announced, you've come to the wrong place. If you'd like some good guesses, try the following:
- Miguel de Icaza - speculation on MIX07, including a dynamic language runtime
- Mary Jo Foley - Microsoft to roll out dynamic-language layer for .Net
- InternetExplorer8 - General info on what's known about IE8
- Channel9 Forums - Speculation about dev.live.com updates
But accuracy's not what this post is about. No, this is good old armchair quarterback time. I'm not going to talk about idealistic things like firing half the marketing and legal departments, I'm going to focus on product direction and long term vision things. Ray, if you've been procrastinating on your keynote, I've put together a few talking points for you. Style point: remember that the great speakers of history were men of passion. Wave your arms a lot and bang on the podium.
