Time to Mix

The conference hall is filling up, the music is excellent and the keynote is a mere 10 minutes away. This will be good!

Vegas baby!

It’s soon time to leave for Vegas. My sinuses seems to be clearing up just in time for takeoff tomorrow.

I’m really looking forward to this conference and hopefully
I will have time to do some shopping too, at least in the
Venetian shops. I hope that I can find a good camera store
that has that nice Pentax flash in stock. Otherwise I’ll just
have to spend my money on games. (Buying a Nintendo DS
that is. I practically stopped gambling when I worked in the
casino industry some years ago…)

New secret Microsoft product on its way?

Some of my colleagues thought Silverlight was a bad product name, but that’s nothing compared to this:

While looking at the tagspace section of the new Microsoft Community betas I found a tag called “Microsoft Egoism” pointing to Microsofts root web page. I found nothing on the page about this “Egoism” thing so I guess this is some kind of leak and that the product will be released at some later point in time. I strongly suggest that the guys and gals at Microsoft reconsider the name though…

Microsoft Expression Blend and Web on MSDN

Just in case anybody missed it: Microsoft has decided to put Expression Blend and Expression Web on MSDN! This is a bit surprising. Less than two weeks ago the question of if Expression was going to be included in the MSDN subscription came up at Microsoft Live in Stockholm and the answer was no. Good to see that Microsoft changed their minds. A good decision!
