At EPCOT Center at Disney World they have a place where you can take a digital image and then play iwth it. Once you get it the way you want you can email a link to it on the Internet and download it. It's really cool when you think about how easy technology

Well not yet. The end of the week is the end of Microsoft's fiscal year. So much to do before then. Not much time for blogging. And I do realize that I owe you vacation pictures. Need to get some scanned in. Soon. Really.

Thought for the day
Sunday, June 26, 2005 2:48 AM
There are people who leave their job completely behind at the end of the day. They work five days a week or so for a set number of hours. When they are done for the day at work they are done for the day. I am not one of those people. I had a job like

I'm back!
Saturday, June 25, 2005 1:50 AM
Pictures soon - I promise. I didn't check email (except one day) for a week. Nor did I read blogs. RSS Bandit shows over 400 blog entries unread. It seems like most (or at least a lot) of the blogs I follow at theSpoke have new entries as well. Catching

Three days with no Internet. My family is amazed at how well I have been handling it. But right now I am at the airport in Orlando waiting for a plane. Free wi-fi. So I am checking my email and double checking the details of my trip.The last three days

On Vacation
Friday, June 17, 2005 4:22 PM
Tomorrow very early in the morning I'm going on vacation. It's the first vacation that my wife and I have taken together in about a year. It is the longest one in several years. As you may know, we are going to Disney World. Since part of the reason for

Office Pranks
Friday, June 17, 2005 10:58 AM
Interesting article with pictures of some office pranks. I've taken part in a few myself in my time. They can be fun if not too far over the top. On the other hand I am glad that I work in my home office. The "worst" that has happened there is that my

Not just the year but the new book by David McCullough. I read his biography of John Adams a while back and it was great. There was no doubt at all as to why he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize (his second) for the Adams book. I'd be surprised if he doesn't

Privacy

An interesting interview with Peter Cullen, the chief privacy strategist at Microsoft. Privacy is an issue that comes up in conversation a lot at Microsoft. I have yet to hear a conversation about collecting information about people where privacy

Day off
Sunday, June 12, 2005 2:22 AM
Tomorrow is my first day off in almost 2 weeks. I worked all last weekend and I taught an all day workshop today. I have to admit that even last weekend with it's 14 hours days was still a lot of fun. But it's catching up with me. I'm not as young as

Poker Podcast
Friday, June 10, 2005 9:19 PM
Podcasting has become quite the thing. I have to admit that I thought it was mostly a computer geek thing. Yesterday I heard a show on the radio that was talking about all sorts of podcasts. Today I ran into Phil Gordon's poker podcast from the World

Where did everyone go?
Thursday, June 09, 2005 5:17 PM
About a third of the "blogs I read" at theSpoke have been updated at least once this month. Some, more than I want to count, have not bee updated in six months. I subscribed to most of these blogs because they were interesting but now the authors have

No more business cards?
Thursday, June 09, 2005 1:36 AM
Rick Segal quotes a Senior Vice President from IBM as saying "I'm not sure I'm doing biz cards any more, just Google me I'm easy to find and I'm always at the other end of my computer." OK I'm easy to find in Google too. But I think I sort of want you

Tuesday, June 07, 2005 1:36 AM
So I got a little foam Tux the Evil Linux penguin this week-end. When I came home he found himself face to face with the happy Channel 9 Guy who already lives here. As you might expect, Tux crashed. :-)It's all in fun Linux fans. Tux is probably not evil.

It's raining

I can't seem to get away from the rain. OK it was dry yesterday. Not that I had a free minute to enjoy it. But today it is pouring again. Sunny Florida? Bah!I've been busy though so I guess it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, having a wonderful time

Two years ago today I got my Microsoft badge and became an official employee. And I am still having a good time and am still glad I made the move to come here. It's a great company to work for.
