Now I can say most of what I used to say here in a far more immediate and visceral way using Twitter. You should all be using Twitter and Twhirl! Go forth and tell everyone what you're doing.
What is Twitter?
How do I get an account?
What is Twhirl?
Got all that? Excellent - now check out a neato mashup of Twitter and Google Maps.
I love OneNote. I use it all the time. I used to have a tablet and I used to be able to do things like draw my diagrams and stuff, but I've actually increased my use of OneNote since I got rid of the tablet. It's just such a powerful application. I've been pinged by several people today about OneNote and my fan-dom so I'm pumping it up a bit more with this blog post.
Did you know that you can do the following with OneNote:
- grab a snippet of a screen just like with SnagIt
- put an image into OneNote and have it index the text inside of the image so that you can search for it
- record audio during a conversation and take written notes which are tagged with audio markers so you can replay bits of the conversation based on what you were writing, or replay the entire conversation and have your notes highlighted as the recording covers what was being said as you wrote the notes
- share OneNote notebooks with your friends in a collaboration love-fest
- export OneNote content as PDF or HTML for broad distribution
You should be using OneNote. Learn more by watching this video from Channel 8. Warning - it is a bit education focused (hence inclusion on Channel 8) but the content is fantastic.

The Dot Net University has release a new SharePoint class. This brings the number of classes offered by the virtual University to three, SharePoint, BizTalk, and .Net Fundamentals. The new SharePoint class has 4 PowerPoint decks, associated Hands On Labs, and accompanying video recordings complete with demos.
I am proud to say that I helped record two of these videos, with Josh Carlisle and Doug Ware recording the other two. Brendon Schwartz, Dan Attis, and Brian Gough pitched in to create the Hands On Labs and PowerPoint decks.
I'm giving a sort of intro to SharePoint Designer webinar for Intellinet on Wednesday at noon. Rather than attempt to re-craft the descriptive text, check out what the Intellinet marketing department (Rebecka, Laura, Alysha, et al.) put together.
We're going to cover some customizations to master pages, data view web parts, a bit of no-code application logic, and some workflow. The challenge is getting it all to fit in a single hour!

I found this today while trying to talk a friend through the administration of her wireless Linksys router. Linksys has put an online representation of all of their devices' admin applications across all the versions on this site - http://ui.linksys.com/. This was great b/c I could ask her to read me this section then that section and was not forced to try to recall what she should be seeing.
Great tool.
If you haven't been to the INETA web site (http://www.ineta.org) recently you will notice that is has been updated and has a very nice navigation for finding users groups and information that your user group might use.
JOPX on SharePoint just released a blog post which extends the work Brendon and I started in our 2 part ASP.Net Pro magazine article (part 1, part 2). JOPX went so far as to release his extension on CodePlex.
Check it out!
I've been playing around with Camtasia recently as I record videos for the SharePoint course of the Dot Net University. The tool is totally AWESOME! I'm about to become a video blogging fool!
I just received notification that I've been selected as a SharePoint Server MVP, after 2 years of being a SQL Server MVP. I'm glad someone more deserving got the SQL spot I'd been occupying, but not as glad as I am that I'm now able to hang out with my SharePoint buddies and not have to hide in the shadows!
Thanks everyone!
