i am excited about the first united states bizspark camp being held in new york city on january 28-29. the event is for bizspark startups looking to target windows azure in their applications. you can find more information at one my partner in crime’s blog post. if you are a bizspark startup, check out sanjay’s post to see what you need to do to register. if you are interested in attending the pitch and networking event, go check out the meetup event here.
i will be there along with some other super cool microsoft folks and can’t wait to see the innovation developed on azure.

this is not going to be one of those posts that talk about the 10 gadgets that defined a decade or the best tech triumph of 2009 but a peak into what i have been a part of this year and what i am looking forward to next.

i really don’t like christmas. i am sort of a bah humbug. i am not into running around to store after store spending entirely too much money on gifts that most will only use once or twice. however, the holidays do give me time to spend with my family and friends which is what i do love about this time. i am taking the rest of the month and year off and decompressing to start the new calendar year with a whole new me. healthier in many ways.
i urge you to take the time and reflect on your accomplishments and disappointments this year and what you are going to be committed to next year. i turn yet another year older on new year’s eve and i am still trying to figure out what i am going to be when i grow up. i guess the journey never ends.

i had a great time this past friday at the windows phone workplayland at the navy pier winter wonderfest. i was joined by some other great microsoft folks including adam hecktman (pictured above telling all about one of the new windows phones available), chris bernard, and some great folks from the product group.

since i had some time today without the constant flood of email, i decided to go through the many pictures that were on my camera and found some from an event apart chicago. i attended aea for the first time and realized that there is a following associated with this event that is unsurpassed.
