Happy (Belated) 5th Birthday to Loosely Coupled

I started blogging on January 29th, 2003 . We've been a little heads down trying to get Notches to launch and I completely forgot to write about this, but I've now been blogging for over five years. I talked last year about my motivations for blogging, and they definitely continue to hold true...

MTA's new Trip Planner

MTA recently launched a new service called Trip Planner . I've used it a few times since I'm still learning some of the buses and trains around our new offices, and it seems to work pretty well. What I like about it more than HopStop is that it gives you multiple routes and is actually...

Taking the Plunge and Rediscovering Passion

The reason, of course, was that I hated those 4 hours and avoided the work whenever I could. After a couple of semesters of this, I just...

Passion and its role in evaluating new product ideas

Evan Williams has an absolutely wonderful post up about evaluating a new product idea . I think Marc is spot on - the "personally compelling" criteria is the one that stands out. Last on the list, but probably the first question I ask myself is: How important to me is it that this product exists...

Congrats to Faisal on his new role on the ADO.NET team

My good buddy Faisal has moved from MSBuild to ADO.NET . Specifically, he's the Program Manager for LINQ to SQL and the Object Service for Entity Framework. He says you'll hear a lot more from him on these things, but of course if past history is any indication his blogging will be short lived...

Radio Silence

I'd like to apologize to all for the complete silence here over the past month or so. As some of you may know, I recently got married. Things were predictably busy leading up to the wedding and then we went on a wonderful honeymoon for 2 weeks in Italy (Capri and Positano). For those of you interested...
