MSN Direct Refuses to Provide Palm Stock Quotes
I'm pretty ticked-- especially since I PAY for this service. I bought myself a Spot Watch back in the spring, for the sole purpose of allowing me to view current stock prices for 2 specific stocks: Microsoft and Palm. About 2 and a half months ago, Palm Read More...
Never More than a Beginning Developer
Today, I reflected on some of the notes I gathered during PDC , then while reading some blogs, I came across someone advertising a job back in February for an intermediate developer. Ideally someone with .Net experience, but I'll consider people with Read More...
Kudo's to PDC organizers
Every time I attend a conference like PDC or TechEd, I'm blown away by how smoothly things run. I can't imagine how they satisfy 10,000 demanding, hungry, and tired IT people. I found the content engaging, the information compelling, the facility excellent, Read More...

Why Did it Happen This Way?
I promise to get back to posts about Office Development soon, but first I have to ask why the situation in New Orleans had to happen this way. In the greatest , richest country in the world, how could it happen like this? Surely the experts new something Read More...
Counting My Blessings in Katrina's Wake
I've grown to love America and it's people. America reminds me of that “Cousin who moved away and made it big“. She's glamorous, sometimes a little egocentric, but still comes home for Christmas with presents, has a little too much egg-nog Read More...
