Princess Leia and now Stacy/Pink 5 in the same sentence? Now all we need is a entry in the [starwars] databank and we will be set.

Pretty long way to come from the humble beginnings.

First Silverlight and now [Moonlight].

Those guys just keep at it. Congradulations on making their goal so far of getting a working engine on [Linux].

Looking forward to the day that I see a demo at TechEd or PDC and they are doing an example using [Moonlight] as well as Windows and Silverlight

 Yeah I was stuck on this one for about 3 days until I was able to duplicate it. After doing that, I was finally able to search for the problem.

Unfortunately the person I was visiting did not have any logging or event messages happening on their machine so I was kind of in the dark until I duplicated it.

Just remember in SharePoint Technology there is no approval on document libraries unless you turn on requiring approval explicitly.

I loved the concept of this video. Play the game and film it. The video stops when you die. You get a real life sense of how a game plays. (I am sure Tina was practicing for some kind of tournament or something).

Maybe we can catch her on XBox Live and see if this video series improves her skills. (We still love you even if you are a slouch for a gamer)

The entire video was a great thing to watch. While philosophically they differ on things, I think Bill Gates and Steve hit it right on the head about each other. Steve had that knack of knowing the taste in the market. He gets a sense of feel that no one has matched yet. Which is why a lot of things [Apple] does is considered cool. it is not that there aren't other things that can do what their products do, but it is that sense of taste that Steve has that makes the products they sell so appealing at times.

Bill Gates has done great work reaching out to developers and partnering when it made sense. Which is why it was first done by Microsoft.

It was great history and something all computer people should watch.

 Over a year old now and still going strong. Meet the On10 team. Really great group of people who love technology. In that year, they have grown to cover lots of different tech. From Games, to computers, all the way to airlines, and medicine.

If it is tech, they have a video of it somewhere. Now if they could just make a TV show, they would really take off then. (Yes I am the one pushing for MSTV)

Matlab was AWESOME. back when I was a student at University of Southern California (Go trojans!) I got an internship with AlliedSignal. that was my first heavy introduction into Matlab and Simulink.

Those were THE tools used for control development within the company. They were totally awesome. I always wanted a "Lite" version that was free so I could play around with it again, but being able to send the results to OneNote is a pretty sweet innovation. I always felt the Windows version would provide more interactivity than the work station version I was mostly using.
