This from Carl’s blog:

Speaking of DNR, you’re not going to believe how awesome this week’s show is (it will be online by Wed. morning). It started as a Java discussion with Mark Pollack and Ted Neward, and then Ted invited Don Box to join us, and I basically sat back and let the three of them talk for 2 freaking hours! The fur was flying a couple times, and the discussion was great! I added what I could to it, but I was really outclassed by these guys. Mere mortals should study this discussion in great detail. Lots of good stuff. I’ll post it’s availability here, and of course you can subscribe to the podcast feeds to automatically download it.

Matt already has reason to be proud of his tools, but today marks another feather in his cap!

I guess I should mention that I will be on the live DotNetRocks this coming Friday.

Did you know there is a schedule on the site?

Kate Gregory was on a few weeks ago and Ted Neward and Mark Pollack were on this past Friday which is not posted yet. (update : oh, Ted & Mark were supposed to be on, but the show was delayed due to airline problems with Carl returning from Vegas or something like that…I think the word is that they will do it on Monday.)

Dave Bost got to do what I didn’t – attend sessions by some of the most awesome speakers on “the circuit” and then mine, too! I was busy working on my sessions so did not get to any. Here are his posts from Monday (Microsoft day), Tuesday and Wednesday with great details about the talks he attended. He also posted about the SQL Server and ASP.NET Keynotes by Tom Rizzo and Scott Guthrie. Dave is a user group leader who I knew from email, so it was fun to meet him.

They are making a DVD that can be purchased with all of the session from ASP.NET Connections and Visual Studio Connections, but not the SQL show. I believe it can be ordered through the registration page.

Steve Smith and his famous red pen encounter Iraq’s fabled Camel Spider. Don’t forget to read the last sentence at the bottom – I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Softwaremaker has gone the dasBlog route and his new [must read if you are doing anything with WSE] weblog is here: www.softwaremaker.net/blog.

Have you see Jeff Prosise’s planes? Here’s another one.  I thought they were real, thanks to the way the photos look… until they started accumulating! I knew that he couldn’t have so many. Then I looked a little closer and then finally saw this video. 🙂 Very very cool, Jeff!

Here’s a picture of Richard Campbell atop of Kilmanjaro. Hooray! Richard went with a bunch of RD’s and some other folks, too.

I have been waiting for Kate to pop her head up. She was on a vacation in Europe and then home for just a few days and then a long flight to Johannesburg to hit TechEd in Sun City.

So there she is and here are her first thoughts about being in that phenomenal place.

One of the cool things about working at Microsoft is that there are so many interesting ways to pursue your interests. Recently we have seen people who are very strongly associated with particular technologies move to something totally different – Dan Fernandez Eric Gunnerson (sorry, I was stuck in C#, too) and Keith Ballinger come to mind the most quickly. Dare Obasanjo wrote that he is moving from the xml team to go work on the back end of things related to social software – which has been an interest of his. Opportunity abounds. Don’t think this means that you can just post whatever nonsense comes to mind about XML! I’m sure he’ll continue to keep us all in line 🙂 . Have fun, Dare!!
