Silverlight Popularity and Features of Silverlight 2

I was just scanning the feeds and came across this post by Dave Bost on his blog. He’s talking about some of what happened at Mix ‘08 and what was mentioned there about Silverlight.
Scott Guthrie was…er…juggling the keynote at MIX’08 this year. You could say he was head ringmaster. As opposed to Ray Ozzie kicking […]

Microsoft Sponsors GeeksLoveBowling at SXSW

Had a great time last night with everyone else at GeeksLoveBowling.com as part of SXSW. We originally didn’t have enough spaces on the team to play everyone from b5 so we had a good cheering crew.

SXSW Agenda Displays Running IE

I just found out from @davebost via twitter that the displays at SXSW are running Internet Explorer. Dave works for Microsoft and is attending SXSW in Austin this week.

Even Microsoft Help Uses Firefox

I’m not sure if the image being uses was populated dynamically or if the person at Microsoft that actually put together the help files is using Firefox instead of IE7.

Mac Leopard X OS Problems

My brother was in town this weekend and when we’re together we normally have a little computer / website training sessions. I’m teaching him a couple of tips and tricks for using the Internet, his computer and his WordPress website.

Bill Gates Flashback

Wow! This guy was a looker wasn’t he? This picture now appears on the Microsoft homepage promoting the new versions of Visual Studio Express versions.

You can say what you want. If I grew up looking like that and now had achieved and owned we he does…you can call me a geek any day of […]

Working at Microsoft

Have you ever thought about working at Microsoft? It’s sure crossed my mind a number of times. I remembered the first time I really thought about it I was at a Microsoft TechNet event. The speakers that were sharing and talking about how to use a new version of a piece of software at the […]
