I am starting to finalize my conference speaking schedule for the next few months.  My current plans include:

Jeremy Allaire (formerly of Macromedia and before that Allaire) phoned me Friday to sync up and chat a little about the future of the web.  One of the things we talked a little about was the current state of blogs and blog aggregators (we had met once before at a web developer conference where we had both done keynotes -- but reconnected by stumbling on each others Blogs). 

At Microsoft we use the terms "dogfood" and "showstoppers" a lot when describing the "end game" of a product cycle.

Thomas Marquardt, one of our developers on ASP.NET, recently published an article on MSDN about ASP.NET performance monitoring.  Along with the article are a number of great utilities (all complete with C# source code). 

Paul Wilson has put together a pretty darn cool Viewstate decoder that enables you to see what the viewstate on an ASP.NET page looks like: http://www.wilsondotnet.com/Demos/ViewState.aspx

This weekend has been a pretty busy one for my team (ASP.NET and the Visual Studio web tools) as we drive towards hitting code complete (CC) for our current V2 feature milestone.  Our target date for hitting CC was this past Friday (the 14th) -- which really means late Sunday night.  About half of my team has been here at somepoint this weekend finishing up -- we look to be on track for hitting our goal.
