Ray Ozzie at Mix08
Just heard that Ray Ozzie will also be talking at Mix this year. If you don't know, Ray Ozzie is Microsoft's Chief Architect - taking over after Bill Gates. I've followed Ray's career for a very long time - since the days of Lotus Notes (which he created) and Groove (which is still ahead of its time... even though Microsoft has done absolutely nothing with the product since they purchased it - which is sad).

TechEd BOF and Why I've Been So Silent Lately
I admit it - I've been dead silent on the blog front for a very long time. That doesn't mean that I've been up to no good - in fact, just the opposite. I've been drowning in work - all Team System and Software Engineering Process Improvement stuff. Good heaven - what an exciting life I must lead! (sarcasm alert)

Tier 1 and Tier 2 Canadian Launch Cities – DONE!
Actually, there was one little thing that could have gone better – you see, about ¼ of the way through the ASP.NET/Smart Client session – the room started spinning and I truly felt like I was going to loose my cookies. I kept on thinking to myself “Just keep your hands in your pocket – look at your shoes – nod – and you will be OK” – for those of you who have seen me present before – this must have come as a shocker. Bristowe was talking in a fury about ASP.NET master pages as I slowly felt more and more like I was actually going to puke my guts out in front of 400 people. Nice hey? As I stand there eying the big bowl of ice water that was cooling our bottles of drinking water wondering if it would be acceptable to use it as a puke-pot – John starts asking me to explain some new IDE enhancements… oye – not good – concentration broken…I decided to sit out one of John’s demos to catch a breather. I totally zoned out – (go to my happy place – breath) - and by the time John got to the Smart Client section I started to feel better. My entire family is home sick with the flu this week – looks like I’m next in line.

Get Ready Edmonton and Victoria...
.. because you are about to get rocked!!! The Visual Studio launch is hitting those cities on November 15th (Edmonton) and 17th (Victoria). I've been zip zagging across this tiny planet (literally) for the past year and haven't spend much time in Canada. Because of this I'm really stoked to say that I'm co-presenting along with the LEGENDARY John Bristowe who decided to take a ride on the wild side and go work for Microsoft Canada. John has recently delivered the launch event in Toronto and Ottawa - and let me tell ya - the man is on fire!!! I only guarantee two things. You will learn - and you will be entertained!!!
