God, will you look at these Microsoft TV adverts from the last ten thousand years.
Some of them are so painful, I can't watch them all the way through.
I wish I could be in Brighton for dConstruct 2008 - it looks like it's going to be great fun
Matt Biddulph and Matt Jones, Burka, Tantek and all on stage with the awesome and extraordinarily nice Steven Johnson. Can't go wrong really, can you. Very happy making.
