The future is here. or over there. I couldn't tell which.

Here is a little "behind the scenes" video footage on MSDN's Channel 9, featuring and explaining some of the recent re-design work done on MSDN & TechNet.

MSDN/TechNet Site Redesign: More Useful, Better Experience and Search Really Works :)

There are several new features coming to the MSDN, TechNet and Expression web sites, that my team works on, and the Social Bookmark Application is the latest and greatest! You can bookmark and an all URLs, as well as, keep track of all your favorite development/information technology/Graphic design links in one place. Obviously, you also browse and filter bookmarks that other community members have discovered as well.

Come join our communities-

A bunch of great, "cynical" quotes found here - 

"Millennials are younger. Healthier. They got to do anal in high school. They think updating a spreadsheet while posting to a Twitter account about gossip on perezhilton.com is an essential corporate skill"

"We may not be the next Greatest Generation, but we're pretty good at calling bullshit."

Then there is this counter piece, which is naive at best:

"Why Gen Y will change the web" - the funniest quote -

"Gen Y sees no reason why a company can't be more accommodating, offering benefits like the ability to work from anywhere, flex-time, a culture that supports team communication, and a "fun" work environment. They're also not going to blindly follow orders just because you're the boss."

"When good blogging goes bad!" Emily Gould - Exposed - Blog-Post Confidential - Gawker - NYTimes.com

Just a quick post to catch my breath, so please take a lingering look around MSDN and TechNet, you notice that the teams have deployed a new graphic design to the sites. One of the more exciting features showcased, are in the content itself, as the blogs for Soma Somasegar, Scott Guthrie and Mark Russinovich are "smack-dab" in the center of each home page. You can't get a more direct connection to Microsoft "rock stars" than that!

Ok, back to "thumb-typing".

Americans are generally pretty brave... although some are apparently terrified of people who listen to Pink Floyd and eat Cheetos.

Hind sight is 20/20, Welcome to Generation Pessimist. You have to love that way P.J. O'Rourke "spins" his views, which end up not being to far from accurate.

"But the problem isn't politicians -- it's politics. Politics won't allow for the truth. And we can't blame the politicians for that. Imagine what even a little truth would sound like on today's campaign trail:

"No, I can't fix public education. The problem isn't the teachers unions or a lack of funding for salaries, vouchers or more computer equipment-The problem is your kids!"
