Hello all,
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted and that might partly be because I have the Halo2 bug. I should have gotten the vaccination, but the lines at the health clinic looked horrendous. I’m even part of the high-risk group [male under the age of 25]. Well, now I’m really regretting it.
Have a great week everyone,
@Matthew

Wow, I’m going to bed happy tonight! Robert Scoble, God of Blogging, has read *my* first post, woo hoo! Although I have never met the man myself, I try to keep up with his blog as much as possible. Scoble works at Microsoft as Technological Evangelist (read: really awesome, cool job I’m sure), helping out with the MSDN Channel9 stuff among other things. I say God of Blogging since somehow he keeps up with a gazillion different blogs through the magic we call aggregation and syndication. Blogging is really quite amazing and I intensely enjoy following the score of Microsoft employees that blog. In fact Scoble has done so much to improve relations between Microsoft and the public, especially through Channel9. I must admit that I might be a little too obsessive since when he posted his mobile phone, I put it in my address book. Hmm, don’t worry, no stalking, but you never know who might helpful in my road to achieving Microsoft employment (man I’m so dead set on this, it’s scary). Anyway, .Text has this neat little feature that will tell you who the referrers are for particular blog posting and although I don’t really understand the technology (yet), it’s really neat and I’m proud to be featured on Scoble’s blog of blog posts <http://www.kunal.org/scoble/archives/2004_11.html#011084>! I’m sleeping happy tonight, yay!

PS--Scoble, expect my postcard for a Nine Guy soon!
Update: How does the man do it? Man he's quick! <http://www.kunal.org/scoble/archives/2004_11.html#011151>
Quite often, I recommend Microsoft’s products and services and defend its actions; my friends will ask me why? I must say it’s because now that big giant has become personal. I have come to know the developers and people who work at Microsoft. I think many see the organization as a giant monster, when in fact at the root of it all exists hardworking people. These people are compassionate, caring and love what they do. I’ve always wanted to work for Microsoft; it has been a childhood dream. However, now I have come to adore not only the business, but also the employees and their ideals. I can see myself participating in this organization and contributing all of my passion and knowledge to the goal. I admire their respect for the customer by listening and understanding to their ideas. Their passion for the customer’s potential is evident in all they do. Their vision is clear: listen, understand, develop and deploy great software and services.
