Seems a lot of people are scratching their heads at Micrsoft’s move to charge $1.50 per download on the Office Beta . They’re wondering (besides money I guess) what the rationale behind this move is. It’s really quite simple. In the universe there must be balance. With the charge for...

I posted a few days ago about my upcoming activities. It included doing a review of MSPress's book CLR via C#, 2nd Edition by Jeffrey Richter. Now it's done, I just sent it for editing on ASPAlliance. I'll post the link to the article when it's up. But: Wow, that book is a total master-piece! Not to...

It’s hard. It’s hard to blog the same day that something happens when you’re at TechEd. Here it’s a flurry of activity, an influx of information, an ongoing flash of gizmos and gadgets. In short, technical sensory overload. Yesterday was one of the bigger days. A double shift...

It’s a rainy day this morning as we hop onto the bus and head out for the daily grind. Today is my Birds of a Feather (BOF) session at 1 PM (or it might be 1:30 PM, depending on what schedule you look at) so if you’re interested be sure to drop by room 203. It’s on SharePoint development...
