Micro-speak is...well, interpret my silence

Probably you may have heard that inside Microsoft there is something called micro-speak that is nothing more than the "way" in which people communicate with each other using acronyms and shortcuts... I must say that I HATE IT! .. it is just ridiculous sometimes. I haven't had to consult a glossary so many times a day in my life :/

Ordered Chaos

Ordered Chaos...That was the first impression I got when I started to work fulltime at Microsoft Corp. I’m a new member of the Dynamics CRM team; an awesome assemble of people, all of them smart, all of them peculiar (in a good sense), and all of them with tons of stuff to do everyday working in one of the most unorthodox environments I have ever being at. You may have heard that the work atmosphere at MS is atypical in the sense that they expect you to drive your own work (and the work of others too); specially if you are in a Program Manager position as I am. Well, this is true to the EXTREME. They literally let you find your own way with as little couching as possible. Don’t get me wrong, they do help you a lot but you have to seek your own help. The first week with the team I honestly doubted if wanted to work in such a fast pace environment with so much ambiguity. Although I previously did an Internship here the circumstances were not quite comparable with those of a full time

A cheap and nice HDTV

I know I know; I'm a lazy blogger. But well, no excuses, I'll just leave it like that. Here is something that TV fans might find interesting. After months (literally) of research my wife and I decided to buy an HDTV. The winner was a ViewSonic N3751w that we purchased in http://www.newegg.com . The price was unbeatable, the quality is good and the shopping experience at newegg was flawless as usual (and no taxes!). Is not the best TV out there but is certainly the best deal we could find. Give it a try; so far we are more than happy with our purchase. HDTV programming looks AWESOME. Happy shopping.
