How To Make A Big Decision
Last summer our oldest daughter was married and I had the awesome responsibility of saying a few words at the wedding reception to the newly married bride and groom. I do a fair amount of speaking in my job as an Evangelist at Microsoft, but this was a very different talk. After a lot of [...]
Is this thing on?
Photo Credit:Peregrino Will Reign Yes it is. I just finished a migration to WordPress from Graffiti CMS. It took awhile, but I was able to sucessfully import all of my posts and finally configure WordPress so that my all of my permalinks are preserved.

I miss blogging
Photo Credit: Sweet Juniper I miss blogging. I know a number of people have written over the last few months that with the rise of social networks like Twitter and Facebook, that people are blogging less. This isn’t about that. This about the lack of story telling or opinion in many of today’s personal tech [...]

I Won’t Follow Everyone Who Follows Me On Twitter
I joined Twitter on December 24th, 2006 and it has been wonderful to see the service grow. In the beginning I used it mostly via text messages as a way to help keep track of friends while we were travelling together. It was great for helping find out where friends were going out to dinner [...]

Hummingbird In The Snow
It snowed again this morning at our home in Fall City, Washington. I’m not sure when this cruel joke of winter will be over here. I moved away from Saskatchewan to leave snow. Although to keep it in perspective, it hasn’t really been cold. Making up for it all was this amazing photo that my [...]
Microsoft Redmond Campus Webcam
Interested in what the weather is like in Redmond, Washington at Microsoft? If so, you can check out my Microsoft Redmond Campus Webcam. I put this up a couple of months ago when made the move to building 24. After trying a few different pieces of Webcam software (with epic failures) I am now having [...]
Diners Drive-Ins and Dives in Las Vegas
I’m a major fan of the television program Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. This show with Guy Fieri goes across the United States popping into great places with good food. Here in Seattle I’ve eaten a few times at Voula’s Offshore Cafe which has been on the show. You have to eat their Greek Hobo. I’m [...]
