Sorry about that, I can't edit it, hopefully an admin can fix it.

Do MMS messages get properly delivered to your iPhone if you are using GV and Sprint? I know that GV does not normally support MMS messages.

Have you seen anything like what you describe that you can share?

TLDR?

is there are recording of the talk that goes with this deck?

This is my own resume... it is similar to the format you mention. I worked this up trying to maintain a single page resume. I have had good luck with getting interviews.

Near the bottom. With the duct tape and nails.

How much if it were Microsoft stock?

well, I don't pay for Dropbox and I am quite happy with how they have solved this problem

so I guess to answer your question... i would not be one of your paying customers and my interest in having to setup a service on all of my machines that is anymore complicated that Dropbox would also be near 0

I have one of these desks. I built a custom top for it so just bought the frame. 500 dollars for the frame is a lot, but it's one of the only frames I was able to find that had a large range of adjustment.

purchased, looks fun!

How does this compare to Freebase?

I assume most of the team did not see this coming as they were actively hiring.

Live Labs culture did not fit in well with the rest of the company and their priorities did not align well with their parent division. The departure of Gary was just the nail in the coffin. I believe the closure is a result of them becoming a big enough expense that division leadership started paying attention and there was not a well defined strategy to drive query share. There are plenty of little teams that operate under the radar quite effectively.

Their primary failure was not being able to measure their positive impact on Bing query share.

9346 is pretty good

He had me till WoW

software written, for iOS or Android using Mono definitely would not run on Windows Phone 7. Any generic libraries and business objects that do not use platform specific APIs may be sharable, but that is all.

what happens if I drive it down stairs?

- solving Facebook algorithm/career puzzles - waiting for my wife to get out of surgery - enjoying the warm weather

After installing the extension if you aren't seeing the integration in VS.NET. Right click on a GIT controlled file and choose "Refresh GIT File Status".

After reading this article I went ahead and forked the Konami-Unicorn-Blitz project (the same one this article references). Added a hideAfter property that autohides the unicorns after 30 seconds and submitted a pull request. We'll see if the change is accepted :)

GitHub is neat.

do it, I'm interested

Anyone who is married knows "happy wife, happy life".

During my 4.5 years I haven't worked on anything but incubation projects. Meaning I have never been on a team with more than 20 full time employees.

There is nothing wrong with making career decisions with input from your family.

Maybe I wasn't completely clear though. My staying at Microsoft even at times when I have been frustrated with management or direction is related to my personal goal (which my wife helped me to define). I am thankful that I have stayed, my team has done some really good work and I have influenced direction at a level which I never thought I would get to. My leaving Microsoft is not related to that goal or to my wife, except that meeting that goal allows me to more easily justify looking at new opportunities.

I am getting close to my 5 year goal and I am starting to seriously evaluate my future opportunities and trying to figure out what I want to do. It's possible, though unlikely, that I will stay at Microsoft. The job I have now is a great job and I have worked hard to obtain the influence that I have within Microsoft.

I left startups when I got married to provide my new family with some consistency and with the goal of really building out my resume with time spent influencing key projects at a strong industry leader. I feel that achieving that goal is a strong accomplishment. I am now well equipped to be a much stronger contributor for future employers and have the maturity to push through difficult times without bailing.

This was not in the early 80s. It was the beginning of 2006.

5 years was a personal goal that my wife and I worked out when I started, we had just gotten married and she really likes consistency while I really enjoy ambiguity. It doesn't really have anything to do with being fully vested or not... I joke with some of my hacker friends that I'm sticking around for the glass statue that you get at 5 years. Really I'm spending my time (another 6 months) trying to push Bing to exercise the benefits of structured data and data semantics on the web. I'm also trying to convince SQL as a product to spend more energy focusing on this area.

If I'm hedging my bets at all it's related to being able to come back to work at a life-sucking anonymous job at a mega software corporation :)

I hope that I will not need to but if my wife or family needed the benefits and comforts associated with this type of employment and I could not work out how to get it done another way. I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Good point regarding .NET. I have been working hard to have significant expertise beyond .NET even though we are rather .NET focused in my day to day work at Microsoft.

Thanks for that feedback. I do plan on a pretty extensive refactoring of my resume as I get closer to my 5 years.
