Today was the first day of the Microsoft MVP Summit here in Seattle. I left beautiful and sunny San Jose California yesterday and today, I find myself in rainy Seattle (big surprise). OK, actually it turned nice later in the day "after" I had gone to the market area this morning and got drenched. I was obvious a foreigner because the only protection I had from the rain was the New York Times I bought at Starbucks (not Seattle's Best) I was holding over my
head.
So, what did we do today? This morning, not much. A quick business meeting for me in the morning, followed by a trip to the market. Registration opened after noon, and the rest of the afternoon was a very fun schmooze fest. I met my MVP lead as well as lots of other MVP both new and old. I heard lots of war stories regarding Vista and Orcas which was of course very fun. Dinner here at the Westin started at 6:30 and finally, now after 11, I'm here wrapping up the day. Tomorrow morning it's Bill Gates followed by some sessions and a trip to the space museum. I'm very much looking forward to the day.
Until Tomorrow.
