Need something to listen to?I am becoming a big fan of podcasts. No.. I don’t own an iPod or have iTunes installed. I have an iRiver for when I workout. I use IE 7’s ability to manage my feeds (with enclosure downloads). And I also have a really cool phone (Windows Mobile 5 rocks!) that also holds lots of … Continue reading Tune in. Geek out.
Day 7 – The TechEd Post MortemI’m typing this sitting in seat 3D (First class! Yeah!) on the flight home. It’s Saturday. I’m tired. I really want to be home.

Day 6 – The LAST TechEd DayAll done. No more. My brain is full. (Of what, though.. that’s debatable.)I got in early enough to catch two sessions before working in the TLC again this afternoon.

Day 4 – Yet ANOTHER TechEd DayAre we done yet? No! But we’ve passed the half-way point. And my feet are very glad to know that. My Wednesday of TechEd 2006 was again spent smiling. Smiling while enjoying talking to people at the Messaging TLC booth and later at the TechNet booth. And smiling for pictures … Continue reading Kevin’s TechEd 2006 Diaries – Day 4
Day 3 – Another TechEd DayDidn’t get in as early as I should have, but still managed to get a lot accomplished. After a bit of morning blogging, I made it over to the TechEd Store to buy a couple of goodies for my kids.

Day 2 – A Proper TechEd DayFinally got into the typical TechEd routine. Breakfast, Breakouts, and [insert something else here that starts with B that you’d find at TechEd]I had another chance to witness an incredible presenter work his magic yet again.

Day 1 – Exchange Server 2007 Pre-Conference Session and KeynotesToday I worked as a proctor in the pre-conference instructor-lead session on Exchange Server 2007. My time was spent learning more than helping, but I managed to answer a few questions. My team mate and partner here at TechEd, Harold Wong, answered many more. The evening really … Continue reading Kevin’s TechEd 2006 Diaries – Day 1
I hear that Windows Vista Beta 2 is in the bag that all attendees are getting at TechEd.

It’s in the bag.
