I’m on vacation until July 1st in the Del-Ray Beach area (I’ll spend some time in South Beach too). Loving it. My inbox will no doubt overflow and bounce a bunch of messages, so if I don’t get back to you, holla back.

I’ll be in Los Angeles the week of 5/14 for the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC). If you’re in the area and want to chat, speak up. My schedule is getting slammed, but I’m always up for a good conversation. There are lots of interesting talks surrounding Media Center Extender and other Vista enhancements. If there’s something of interest you want me to post about, let me know. Check out the link for more details and the agenda.

Yes, 2006 is right. Unfortunately I broke my ankle early in the season this year, but was able to get a lot of early riding in at Whistler. I really wish I was able to make use of that season pass I bought Hopefully the mountain will treat me better next year (or I’ll stop doing stupid things that cause bones to break). Counter clockwise, meet Eric, Mark, me, and my brother Dustin. We had such a fantastic time! Can you tell who is still recovering from the night before?

We also managed to turn Heather (sis) into a cigar aficionado.

Eric, that’s a pretty good Popeye face.

I’ll be in Denver the week of 3/19 - 3/23 for Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) meetings. If you’re in the area and want to shoot the breeze, let me know.

I post fairly often on the core Windows networking blog, but often want to share other topics both professionally and personally. I’ll use this blog as my primary means to not only talk about the things I do in my life, but also to professionally answer all the questions I hear from customers and partners I interact with. I will also frequently comment on other online writings which I feel need clarification, or I agree/disagree with. I’ll share my thoughts on products, strategies, and even gaps in various markets.

If you have questions or want to comment on anything I write here, please feel free.
