I’m back from SES San Jose. I wish I could have spent more time at the conference, but alas, work called and it wanted its one, and only, employee back. 
Still, I had a lot of fun and made some great new friends–and met with some great old friends too. If you’ve not had a chance, check out the SES San Jose photos I took.

I soooo want to see the creative of the Seinfeld - Microsoft campaign!!!
Will the tagline be “Windows Vista: not that there’s anything wrong with it”?

Nothing says, “Trust us. Our software is great” than getting a comedian to talk show up in your ads.
I read that Microsoft heading to Des Moines thing and thought that it couldn’t come at a better time since they are still recovering from the floods. Finally some good news around there. Go Hawks!

I’m not really a fan of the new ads. It has nothing on Apple.
Simple yet effective advertising is the key. They fail here.
