March 18 Hi, me againI've gone all non-updatey again, sorry. I've been busy with a lot of future stuff, but I'm still around!
So, if you didn't already know, the Xbox community types started up a blog last month, here: blogs.msdn.com/xboxvoices. You can catch me and the community team rambling on about various things quite often, so do take a look!
December 24 Happy Holidays!Seattle's getting a white Christmas this year. We're so hopeless in the snow! I changed my avatar accordingly...
Hope your winter festivities are going well, and happy new year!
November 19 New Xbox Experience article up on Xbox.comNXE is finally here! And to celebrate this momentous occasion, I have a new article up on Xbox.com.
Do you have your avatar yet? Here's mine:
I'm going to cautiously open comments again. Hopefully we'll have a little fun before the spammers strike.
November 13 Coming up for air
Hi! How are you? Long time no chat. I'm still here, if you're wondering. Been hard at work on a little thing called the New Xbox Experience. Through most of the year, I was working on UI, specifically the text for labels, buttons, etc. for the new dash and guide. When that wrapped up, I moved on to getting our help articles ready for the switch. Still working on that, actually. I just finished up my first Elle article in quite a while. You'll be seeing that next week. Any guesses on what it's about? ;) Let's see, what else. Oh yeah, today's my 8th year anniversary at Microsoft. Where are my presents? Not that you can answer that. I had to turn off comments on this site. I really like it when you guys post comments, but I've been getting way too much comment spam. Just the other week I had to delete spam on every single post on the site. 3 years of posts! So, until Windows Live Spaces comes up with a way to deal with it, I'm just turning them off. But you can still drop me a line. Address is at the bottom of the main page. Ok, back to work. TTFN! August 30 PAX 2008So, I stopped by PAX today. It was freaking awesome, as expected. That exhibit hall keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. It's amazing how quickly PAX has become the go-to event for gaming. Hand-out-to-everyone swag was a little underwhelming, but I did score a skateboard and backpack from Champions Online. Bonus!
A couple of notables for the day: I went to the female gamer communities panel (naturally), which my friend Trixie was moderating. Great panel and really good questions from the audience. I also stopped by the Microsoft booth when Josh Orgeta and Pete Hayes were signing Gears of War 2 posters. Josh and me go way back to... um... Viva Pinata... so he hooked me up with one. He's a swell guy, that Josh. I luffs him to pieces.
A bunch of us wanted to go to the "is casual games killing core games" panel tonight, but by the time we got there, there was a huge line waiting to get in. We were puzzled for a minute, till we looked up who was on the panel. Note to PAX organizers: when you have a panel that includes Wil Wheaton and N'Gai Croal, please get a bigger room, kthxbai.
It's a light PAX year for me. I wasn't there in any official capacity, either, my first year with a regular attendee badge. I had to work yesterday (till, like, 10, trying to get stuff done for a milestone on the new dashboard) and I have some real-life stuff going on tomorrow. So today was it. But I'm glad I went!
