We're now just a few short weeks away from PDC, which promises to yield a bumper crop of announcements. Aside from the Oslo/Dublin stuff that regular readers of my blog know I follow closely, there will also be cloud-related announcements. One thing I would expect is that Live Mesh will either get more features/capabilities, or that it may become part of something larger. Either way, I'm a big fan of the existing offering, and am eagerly waiting to see where this leads. Here's a few things I've done...
I'm not sure when my blog turned into a travel blog, but I think I may have found what I'll do as my next career :) I've been very fortunate that work has taken me to interesting places, and I am able to jump off and see other interesting places. A few weeks ago I went to Dubai on my way home from Amman Jordan (where I'm working on a country-scale ESB project for Microsoft and the Jordanian government). I'm writing this in a taxi as my wife and I head to Petra (Jordan) for the weekend, then I work...

A piece of tattered paper caught my eye,...
I have been playing around with the Live Mesh Community Techology Preview, and have been doing what I think is some pretty cool stuff with it (as a consumer), so I thought I'd post something about it. First off, and let's get this out of the way up front, this is NOT "another Ray Ozzie Notes/Groove". What's available today looks and feels like Groove (or FolderShare), but that's only because this is the first implementation of something written on top of the Mesh Operating Environment (MOE). Today...
I'm part of a curriculum advisory panel for California State University for an upcoming SOA program. As part of that, I spoke with someone there recently, relating real-world experiences, in a rather wide-ranging conversation. I started thinking "gee, I should write some of this down, it could be a good blog post". So, here it is! I'll start off by saying that I could probably write a book about this, and there's likely a bazillion of my peers that could co-author. Many have already written books...
