About a year ago, I was prepping to do 50 minutes on-stage with Bill Gates at the Windows XP Media Center 2005 Launch.  I didn't think it was possible but I'm as excited, or possibly more for the Microsoft Professional Developer's Conference and what's going to be shown.  I started in the developer org and with my new job, I'm a bit closer to my roots.

I can't go into details yet, but the hard work of my new team is going to be shown in keynotes. It's going to have a session that hasn't been made public yet. I'm going to be there to help see this all come together.  It's like watching your kid climb up the playground ladder the first time on their own. :)

I have nearly a dozen meetings set up and will be hanging out in the Track Lounge once everything becomes public.  But what the hell, Tuesday night- if you're up for joining us at the Media Center Geek Dinner (see last posting), I'm gonna chip in and first round of drinks are on my new team.  We'll be talking about what we're working on and answering questions.  But darn it, I can't tell you what it is yet! 

Any LA'ers out there have a recommendation on where to do our Tuesday Geek Dinner? Near the convention center, cheap food, lots of room, plenty of beer is my priority.ii
