So last weekend at IKEA, I bought some stuff to decorate my office. Including this picture frame, pictured here:

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get a picture into that frame. I’ve been having a great first real day in the office, but this particular thing makes me feel really dumb.

Last night was the MIX party at PURE at Caesar’s Palace. It was pretty sweet. Definitely too crowded, but I guess that’s just the way it goes when you tell 1500 software developers that they can have free drinks and see the Pussycat Dolls.

Anyway, the craziest part was that on the way back I saw several women out walking their babies in strollers. This was at 11pm. wtf?! 11pm and they’re out walking their babies? Aren’t babies supposed to be asleep by then?

The Pussycat Dolls were pretty fun. Here are some pics from flickr. (Just search for tags MIX07 and Pure or pussycat dolls to find more.)

I’m sick this morning, sadly, but I don’t think it’s a hangover. It was starting up yesterday morning. I think I’ve just got the old fashioned flu. 🙁 It’s going to be a miserable 3 hour plane ride.

• Silverlight is pretty freaking sweet. Check it out.
• I’m actually excited to learn about AJAX programming with ASP.NET.
• It looks like DevDiv is doing some really kick-ass work. Congrats guys!
• That said, I’ve had a freaking HARD time getting Orcas Beta 1 installed. The DVD I got with my conference welcome pack was corrupted or something and downsloading it is a pain. Kitty’s going to get her DVD for me now and I’ll give that a try.
• I’m really glad to see more Mac support from Microsoft. Nobody’s going to write a web app that doesn’t work on Macs, especially in this age of social computing.
• I’m totally excited for my new job. And totally excited for what I was working on in my old job to be released to the public. It’s going to blow people away what they can do with that stuff.
• The moderator for the social networking discussion was suboptimal.
• It’s freaking hot in Vegas.
• The Venetian has super nice basic rooms.
• I haven’t gambled at all yet. That makes me sad. I’ll have to go lay $100 on the pass line.
• I was too tired last night to go to the Facebook party at the Playboy Club. I’m either getting sick or getting old. Given the events of this morning, I think sick is the answer.
• What can I get for a souvenier for Heather?
