Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-21

Hrm… Registration somehow lost my workshop registration. Trying to get the problem solved. #MIX10 #
In @john_papa and @mtaulty's Silverlight 4 Boot Camp.. sitting in between 2 health care devs. #
Is there anything less reliable for a demo than the Twitter API? I want to make sure my demos crash more frequently. #MIX10 #
@LBugnion If it still works when I'm demoing it, I'll be so happy you can say whatever you want. in reply to LBugnion #
Follow @xamlcoder for excellent updates on #MIX10 sessions and workshops. The man is a machine. #
@jaredtpotter are you at lunch? in reply to jaredtpotter #
Wow, mix sure changed their branding from last year http://yfrog.com/0sl40j #
RT @justsomeguy: Design workshop at #MIX10 is going to have a nonSPOILER #wp7s bit at the end! #
@blovesmath Hooray! Thank you for a great room, Microsoft… in reply to blovesmath #
Did @arturot just call one of the sample designs "more design-y"? Yes he did. #MIX10 #
The #MIX10 "Design Tools and Techniques" workshop has a lot of "initial" designs done in After Effects. Interesting. #
@ClaudioASanchez Yeah… Seemed too much like someone else walking through an ASP.NET MVC book in reply to ClaudioASanchez #
@tvanfleet (embarrassed)… I missed the first couple minutes. Dangit. in reply to tvanfleet #
AH! The designers just deleted the ContentPresenter in a Silverlight Button! Will no one end the madness? #MIX10 #
Guess what… it's Pi Day! (03/14) Someone at #MIX10 has to mention it… #
@robertmoore That is tragic. I guess they just rounded pi down this year #BadMathJokes in reply to robertmoore #
The Archetype #MIX10 presentation on design in Silverlight is just brilliant. Very practical. #

@ClaudioASanchez I'm in the second row front and center… in reply to ClaudioASanchez #

In a "general" talk about UI development for phone applications… Windows Mobile 7 might come up. #MIX10 #
Having so much fun working on my demos I almost don't mind paying so much for internet access #MIX10 #
@nathandunlap Are you going to be where you are for much longer? I'll jump down there and say hi. in reply to nathandunlap #
3 years ago Microsoft gave MIX speakers brand new Zunes & Windows. This year at #mix10 even the t-shirts are gone. (via @lukewdesign) #
In the keynote room for the "keynote you don't want to miss (wink, wink)" So I am told. #MIX10 #
Did he just pinch zoom the Windows phone on stage?!?! Someone call the Apple lawyers! #MIX10 #
It's great that we can use our design tools for the Windows phone, but do I need a 30 min demo that says "everything is the same"? #MIX10 #
After the #MIX10 keynote, seeing people tapping away on their #PDC multitouch laptops makes me cry #
About to grab lunch at #MIX10 Anyone want to join me? #
OData could replace "Export to CSV" (thanks @shanselman for the idea) #mix10 (via @dodegaard) #
Sitting near the meal hall sign (view from my seat http://yfrog.com/2ohszj ) #
Getting ready to murder the #MIX10 wifi… sure would like to be able to pull a web service for my demo #
At th house of blues with @DavidJKelley & @justsomeguy & @John_papa & … Well, hell, everyone is here #
I just got the greatest shirt from @Estoychev. Look for "I XAML" for the rest of #MIX10 #

The Silverlight MIXer: it's the 100 people you want to meet at #MIX10 all in one place #
Got kicked into the overflow room for the #MIX10 keynote #veracitygeeks #
The girl in the #MIX10 visual studio keynote slides is freaking me out #
Liking the OData demo, seems pretty powerful. Could be amazing for live data information visualizations #MIX10 #
"with ODATA you can do you job with almost no work whatsoever" #MIX10 #DontTellMyBoss #
RT @rickbarraza isn't Buxton supposed to keynote today? Cause I will so go to sleep if he's not gonna talk. #DONT_MAKE_ MIX_INTO_PDC #

@ClaudioASanchez in the food hall near the "Meal Hall Sponsored by Microsoft Translator" sign, where are you? in reply to ClaudioASanchez #
This is a problem, Microsoft RT @DavidJKelley: Talked to an attendee designer who thinks #mix10 has nothing to do with #ux and is about tech #
At the Tacos & Tequila in the Luxor. Hmmm, what shall I have? #

If you run into the guys from Mentor Engineering, say hi… Very cool people. #
Holy crap, the Microsoft LUX party is awesome. I take back everything bad I ever said about Microsoft. Can I have another drink? #
A techo version of "the eye of the tiger"? I must be losing my mind. I refuse to believe this is real. #
