Well here I am live at Tech Oz.  The conferences centre is a really nice layout, the people are friendly, and it’s great to see so many Aussie speakers this year. The hotel , Jupiter’s is quite nice too, the morning walk just the right length.  But I am a bit disappointed…  Here I am, […]

  Just finished watching another great channel 9 video.  It really should have been two parts, but it’s worth watching the whole thing.  The real kicker stuff comes in about 40 minutes or so into the tape.  It’s really interesting to hear the talk about dynamic languages with Erik Meijer and of course Joel Pobar.  […]

How they built Virtual Earth Check out this video on how they built Virtual Earth. Too funny.
