July 31, 2006Video Games and International Sport
July 23, 2006Funny that this story, should run the same week that Americans win the Tour de France and the British Open. I’m skipping to the conclusion:
Blame video games for demise of U.S. sports
…So how did all of this happen?
The kids from all over the world have been playing and practicing to get better.
Ours are playing video [...]
I look forward to this commentary…
July 21, 2006Mike Nelson has a new site called RiffTrax. The page is pretty self explanatory; you download the commentary and play it at the same time the movie is running.
Mike Nelson’s RiffTrax
Do you feel that some of the movies coming out of Hollywood are just, well, missing something? At RiffTrax, you can download Mike’s running [...]
Brace for impact…
July 21, 2006The most overused word in all of Microsoft is impact. It’s not only overused, it’s usually used improperly. It’s always bugged me, but this week I heard it so many times that I wanted to scream. I decided to look it up in Encarta and I found a nearly perfect explanation for my distress, so [...]
400+ Differences Site
July 20, 2006I hadn’t seen this Visual Studio 2005 promotional site yet. Some of the movies here are pretty funny.
400+ Differences
I like the one where the girl blows the horn at the guy. Funny thing, I discovered this from an ad on Slashdot.

Along the way [...]
Ford Blog
July 18, 2006As a Ford guy, this is very cool. Robert Scoble links to the new Ford blog/videocast. Check it out:
BOLD MOVES
I’ve got a 5 door focus that’s nearly identical to Robert’s on the inside. I took took our planner Lawson over to have lunch with Robert just before he left, and we basically got out of [...]
Beyond Bullet Points
July 18, 2006I got a chance to meet Cliff Atkinson today. Cliff is the author of Beyond Bullet Points. I love the subtitle on this book, Using Microsoft PowerPoint to create presentations that inform, motivate, and inspire. One of my jobs at MacBU is Product Manager for Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac, so when I heard about this [...]
NCAA Football 07 for the PSP
July 18, 2006Wow, what a great surprise today. I get home, the kids hand me cards that they made for me and they present me with a gift: NCAA Football 07 for the PSP and the game guide. Kat went ahead and bought me this because she’s an awesome wife. So I was pretty excited.
I haven’t had [...]
Microsoft Beta Testing
July 17, 2006I would guess that in the 7 years I’ve worked at Microsoft, I’ve been running mostly beta for about 5 of them. Sometimes that’s pretty trying, but when you get right down to it, I think that this is extremely important to the state of the final product. Alex has some stats:
Microsoft’s Ultimate Beta Tester?
Microsoft’s [...]
