Silverlight.  Silverlight.  Silverlight.

It was EVERYWHERE.  Not saying that's a bad thing.  I am totally nerd-ed out over the NBC Olympics site coming in August.  I have already planned in my head several uses for Silverlight with Virtual Earth.  My team has been working on more business value oriented applications with it- think less wiz-bang visual, but more wiz-bang time saver in day-to-day business.

It was great to see many friends/colleagues from around the Microsoft family.  Tech-ed is in June and I hope to see them again there. 

Ballmer's interview by Guy Kawasaki was fun, and informative.  I love the approachability he has, shows you can enjoy your work, have fun with it and still build and maintain a successful brand.  How cool is that?

So, now the big question is...... will everyone think Silverlight is as cool as we all do?  I think the answer is yes, but to Joe Consumer, they shouldn't care if it's Silverlight, for him, it's right or not.  So, if we do it right, Joe Consumer is pleased.
