Dreams of Microsoft

Metro Internet Explorer 10 Share Charm

Sorting through old emails, I found an article describing a feature of Internet Explorer that I somewhat worked on as a Program Manager at Microsoft. “Not that it’s mind-blowing or anything” the author states as he explains how the feature “COULD” be critical.

Elizabeth Banks Loves Penn Six

In an interview about her upcoming movie Pitch Perfect, Elizabeth Banks had this to say about Penn’s greatest a cappella group (full disclosure: dld):

I have about 5000 bookmarks. I have a folder in my bookmarks called “blog this” that contains too many things that are all outdated. However, I will try to intersperse my posts with something from that folder. Sorry if you’ve read about it elsewhere, but I just think that some things deserve some more mentions.

so here we go:
