Microsoft Sync - A quick review

by mhouston 21. June 2009 19:15

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 commands: calling, visible address book, texting and media player.  If you have a vehicle with synch it is totally worth having a WinMo phone.

Teched08 - 'Spring Break for Nerds' ;-P

by mhouston 10. June 2008 19:15

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 Connell's 'Don't be a Tool...' SharePoint dev talk...really good stuff from an outstanding presenter.  I was just happy to hear someone actually tell developers to be developers again and quit whining...this could turn in to a <rant/>...I'll stop now.

As usual, the most interesting stuff happens after hours ;-P  Every year I say I'm going to capture more evidence, but I always forget to take pictures...here's the few I ended up with this year.  It was great to see all my old friends and meet quite a few new ones.  I love all of you nerds.  Big props to the Fl crew for organizing the ]inbetween[ event.  And oh, btw, before I forget....SHAREPOINT NATION!!!
