Everyone keeps asking me what I do at work. I work for the client team (the program that runs on your computer) for Office Communiations Server. And now, you can see more: http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/10/14/Microsoft_to_release_OCS_2007_update_in_February_1.html

Sorry for being busy recently. This is not really why, but sorry anyway.
I just booked tickets for the Princeton at Yale football game on Nov 15. If you will be in New Haven that weekend, give me a call and we’ll hang. On Friday I might be in NYC for a little also.
I had outlined a post detailing the minutia of my first Yom Kippur away from home, and even begun writing much of it. I could not finish the post though. Usually that means I have either lost interest or misinterpreted my own thoughts originally. So, here are the highlights.
On Rosh Hashanah, Julia and I got [...]
(I’ve been silent while crafting two posts, one on the Jewish day of atonement and one on an idea a friend of mine has. I will post them but they are taking me longer to write than expected so I will be posting in between now and then.)
I went to the zoo today. My friend [...]
I am in a pickle here. My real life has started, and I am fully responsible for both my income and my “outcome”. I need a way to track my expense, my budget and all my money stuff. Since I’m a tech guy, I’m in the know. I’ve heard about two applications that will help [...]

Let me set the scene quickly; it is my second day on the job. I’m wobbly-footed, trying to find my place in this enormous company. I am getting fed information at 100 mph, and can barely remeber my [...]
At my job, I am about to start working on something that requires me to draw a little bit on a legal pad. I went to the mail room to pick up a pen, but out of the corner of my eye, saw a box of pencils just begging for attention. So, I picked up [...]
Happy New Year everyone. Out here the Jewish New Year is coming to a close (give it a few hours). I did not go to work today but instead went to a synagogue on Mercer Island called Herzl-Ner Tamid. I really enjoy synagogue, often because it forces me to reflect on things at a higher [...]
Today is the last day of my third week of work here at Microsoft. I’m in Redmond, WA, which is basically Seattle (I live in Seattle proper, to give an idea). I work for the Office Communicator team, which in simple terms is an IM client for businesses that focuses on business needs like Outlook [...]
Tulalip Casino and gambling addictions
Three of my friends and I went up to Tulalip Casino this weekend for a little Friday night fun. I only play craps, even though I don’t really know how to. It is fun to me, especially talking to the other people at the table. I did pretty well last night, leaving with about 3 [...]
