Who would have thought? Channel 9 is Five. Plenty of fun stuff happening this week on the site, all starting with a birthday song bh Chris Anderson and Don Box. It has been a pretty amazing ride for everyone since we launched the site. A fun week ahead of celebrating, remembering and visions for the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

With  this work we’ve streamed the keynotes live, published breakout sessions for on demand viewing, filmed [...]

One of my more popular blog posts is where I explain how to push your Facebook status to Twitter. When I wrote this, about two years ago, people were more likely to update their Facebook status than Twitter. My hack with TwitterFeed made it simple to push that status update to Twitter. Times have changed [...]

  Today, my team has released Oxite. Oxite is an open source, standards compliant, and highly extensible content management platform that can run anything from blogs to big web sites. We are releasing this as our second edition of the Mix Online web magazine that focusses on web standards.  Oxite began as a side project of Adam [...]

I promised that I would be back. I am. It has been a very exciting time with Microsoft PDC week now here. One of the things that is new from my team is the PDC live event coverage. On the homepage of the PDC Website, you are able to watch the day 1 and 2 [...]

This morning we posted a very special interview on Channel 9 with Bill Gates. In this video interview, Charles Torre sits down with Bill Gates and they talk about everything from philantropy, the CSA role, competition with Google and platforms. I believe this will go down as one of our greatest Channel 9 interviews of all time [...]
