ms_net_rgb_web The first blog post was keyed in from a mobile phone before new employee orientation, so I thought I would take a moment to write a more thoughtful post about the first few days. Well, maybe not more thoughtful… But at least a post that has some links and images in it.

For example, Building 42! My new home. I swear walking into the campus this morning I couldn’t keep the grin off my face.

Let’s see… What else is there. Ah! There are people in the building! To name a few there’s Bertrand Le Roy, Renaud Paquay, Bradley Millington… Ah, well. I’m not having much luck finding a public internet presence for a lot of people so I’ll leave off with the naming of names in case they prefer anonymity. There’s also people like Scott Guthrie and Phil Haack but that would be like pointing out the fact there are roads and trees around the building.

I’m actually feeling really good about the decision to join Microsoft. Met the team, surrounded by blindingly smart people, workstation fully installed, two beautiful monitors showed up today, getting a handle on where the project is at and where it’s going. End of the second day and it’s time to head home now.
