Going on vacation

I'll be on vacation from February 17th to February 25th.  I won't be checking e-mail or newsgroups.  I won't be available through instant messaging and won't be answering my phone.  So you can go an entire week without me polluting your inboxes :-)

Channel 9, Channel 10 - I detect a pattern

Some of you have probably seen or heard of the Channel 9 website at http://channel9.msdn.com (former home of Robert Scoble's podcasts from various groups around the Microsoft campus).  That web site, as part of MSDN, is developer focused.

Speaking of Channel 9, some of the people in my group (the Solution Accelerators Team) are featured in the most recent video posted this week.  Mike Danseglio, Jose Maldonado, and Kelly Hengesteg talk about the "Windows Vista Security Guide" (available for download from http://go.microsoft.com/?linkId=6118544) in the posting at http://channel9.msdn.com/showpost.aspx?postid=283191.

Enough about Channel 9 though.  While reading through a blog entry, available at http://gartenblog.net/2007/02/15/from-analyst-to-evangelist-lets-get-it-started, from Juniper/Gartner analyst Michael Gartenberg's jump to becoming a new "enthusiast evangelist" at Microsoft, I saw a reference to another web site that I hadn't seen called Channel 10.

So what exactly is Channel 10?  Think of it as the technical enthusiast's site - where Channel 9 focuses on developer topics, Channel 10 can focus on (as they describe it) "passionate digital citizens reaching out to enthusiasts around the global".  Visit http://on10.net to see more.
