My resume


Are you doing cool stuff? If so, you need to communicate how cool it is, with demo apps, exciting examples, articles, talks, and seminars. I love to bring the best new technologies into the public eye. I'm especially a fan of innovative programming tools and mobility software (Tablet PC, SmartPhone, and .NET Compact Framework).

Jim Waldo says that strong typing advocates spend more time thinking about large systems. Yeah, I agree.

I don't even have a PVR and I agree. One of my many, many side-projects is writing a .NET CF RSS aggregator that displays the articles using RSVP (Rapid Sequential Visual Presentation -- flashing the words at you at a rate that significantly exceeds your regular reading rate). So much software to write, so little time...

Peter just messaged me: "Hands down, InfoPath (prerelease version) is microsoft's coolest ink app, after onenote." I can't wait to read his comments on his blog.

OK. That settles it. I'm downloading the prerelease InfoPath even if that means I have to reinstall everything later. Here goes nothing... via [Incremental Blogger]

Hmmm... InfoPath isn't really targeted towards an independent contractor like myself, but if it's mad for ink...
