Blogging on a Boat

I’ve blogged on a bus, a beach, an Aircraft Carrier now on board a yacht enjoying the local brew Sam Adams thanks to the good folks at NetiQTechEd  has been fun as always, but the community celebration we had last year hasn’t happened yet.

The Podcast Team of Mike and Pete are missed, we captured the mood last year as the community came together for a good time.

We're ready to sail on  Boston Harbor,

The Windows Mobile Team throw a great party last night overlooking the harbor at sunset.. 

Looks like I’ll miss the influencers party at Ned Devine’s Pub, despite having the post of the day on the Virtual TechEd site. Check out TechEdbloggers for news from the community, by the community..  

 

Tomorrow night the big party is at Fenway Park...... all my life I've been shouting BOSTON SUCKS at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, but now that I'm here I have to say this is a beautiful town.

WinFS is Sweet

We got some great insight into the workings of WinFS yesterday at Roger Lueder's TechEd  talk: Building on WinFS: Developing a Great WinFS App from Scratch.

To say that Roger is passionate about WinFS would be an understatement, in fact several members of Microsoft’s WinFS Team were there and all of them have this look in their eye and their feet don’t touch the ground.

With WinFS you can organize, categorize and find all of your stuff. A rational databace on your desktop with all the power of a real time Business Intelligence application when incorporated with Web Services and a network connection.

There’s more when you realize the power of XAML and the Windows Presentation Foundation, WOW! 

Need to organize your wine collection? I have more empty bottles then full but just think of the possibilities.......
