So, my wife’s new vehicle has Microsoft Sync.  I had seen the goofy commercials and was not really interested.  I’ve never enjoyed most of the voice activated goofiness in new consumer gadgets.  Well, I was surprised.  It took all of about 5 seconds to connect my HTC running WinMo 6.1.  The features are great.  total control over the phone’s functionality via the vehicle’s interface and voice...

The first 2 days were crazy.  I can’t believe Tiger’s last 9 holes on Friday…wow!!!  That’s why he’s #1 in world ranking points.  Phil was playing okay…sorta fell apart…what’s new?!  There are a lot of players in the running, Sat. should be an awesome ‘moving day’.  I love the US Open :-) Official US Open Site Tee/Starting Times ...

Another excellent year at TechEd!  After all these years, I still enjoy the lengthy, opinionated and inebriated conversations over technologies, implementations, products, etc. I did make it to a few interesting sessions and spoke to a few ‘official’ types about various things ASP.Net MVC, Velocity, Unity, Oslo, etc…  The presentation I actually enjoyed the most was Andrew...

Immelman held it together and no one else could catch up.  It was a good Masters. Technorati Tags: Golf,Majors,Masters

Nothing quite like the Masters!  This is, by far, my personal favorite of the majors. Update for anyone not paying attention: Tiger is flubbing really bad (-1) Phil is playing good (-5) Immelman is leading (-8), but won’t win Snedeker is alone in 2nd (-7) and just might pull off an upset over the weekend.
