Thoughts on MIX07 So Far

  • 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?
