Remembering Bobby Fischer

I was sad to hear that Bobby Fischer died yesterday (Jan 17th 2008). He was one of my childhood heroes. I remember watching the televised event of his match with Boris Spassky in 1972, he was simply amazing. It's strange to think I've outlived most of my heroes......

Windows Live Writer out of Beta

The Windows  Live Writer is finally out of Beta. I've enjoyed using it as a Beta Product for the past year and have seen it come a long way. You can install plug-ins to allow you to embed video and other fun things. Oh and by the way it is a great tool for SharePoint blogs as well. Check it out:

Jing

Tired of writing lengthy documents to explain something that you could more easily show someone? Jing might just be the aspirin for that headache. With Jing you can create a quick video including voice. It saves it as flash so you can open it with almost any browser, and it takes a lot less time than creating a doc with screen shots. The best part is that it's free... check it out.

SharePoint Training - Road Trip

Life has been so busy lately that I just didn't get a chance to post about the Church IT SharePoint training, and now it's here already. So Sunday Jason and I set out for Peoria Illinois with our good friend Dave Mast, who drove up on Saturday. We'll spend this whole week in training, and from what I witnessed today, it's both exciting and scary (see manuals at Jason's blog). SharePoint really is a beast!

I'll be posting more as the week progresses!
