PDC
Nov 04, 2003
Back from PDC and I’m still unburying from all the work I have. PDC was great, but thoroughly exhausting, and I learned to drive way to aggressively all over downtown LA in a stylish white Pontiac Grand Am, which Anson Horton (a fellow turtle) described as an angry vacuum cleaner. MapPoint was definitely my friend. The best part about these events are the people you meet, whether they are customers, RDs or MVPs, it was great to hang out and socialize with these groups as we don’t get the opportunity to do that too much.…more

Scoble, Jeff Sandquist and I met a couple of weeks ago to discuss what sort of blogger events we could do for PDC, and we’ll be sending out details sometime soon.

Back from New Zealand
Aug 25, 2003
I got back from TechEd New Zealand on Thursday and I’m still catching up on all my emails, and blogging is always Pri 2 so I’m taking the time out to catch up on blogging too. The city of sails was great although with three sessions I didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy it. I did get to meet and hang out with DataGrid Girl (who’s on .NET Rocks this week), Tim, Matty, and of course Bix.…more
