I knew I'd be able to find an image of this shirt somewhere on the web when I saw someone wandering Tech Ed wearing it....

Next week is a big week in a traveling .NET Geek's life - Tech Ed (the North America edition). Tech Ed is in Los Angeles this year. I know I've been to two big MS events in that gigunda conference center before - perhaps they were both PDC events. In order to get to Tech Ed without digging into the mortgage...

A spontaneous website called NotAtPDC.com just popped up which is presenting Live Meetings for those of us who can't be at PDC and want that live interaction. PDC is also putting all of the sessions online on Channel 9. It took me a while to figure out how to find them so I've explained how to find the...

At TechEd last week, Steve Smith and I hosted a lively BOF called Going Solo. There's also a good list on ASPAdvice for continunig the conversation. Read more here... [A New DevLife post]...

Yesterday we finally got the email about our attire and there was nothing about open toe shoes. However, I was not happy to see "khaki or black pants/skirt" only. (And they were clear...

Monday evening - Speaker dinner Tuesday 1-2: Vista Ask the Experts Booth demoing Annotation in Silverlight...

I'm used to seeing TechEd ads on many of the sites that I go to since they are developer sites. So it took a few minutes for it to register when I saw the ad on the website of our local newspaper, the Burlington Free Press . I've been seeing them frequently for days now. This is a pretty small market...
