Don Box - Tour of Indigo Team

Good movie, and pardon me for going offtopic, but what videocamera are you using?

• Don Box is an extremely affable person. He keeps a very low-profile, demured disposition even inspite of the fact that he is rightly considered a larger-than-life icon for programmers around the world. He's not only a truly great programmer but is an even better human being. Oh! did I forget to say, an excellent guitarist too?
  
• What is amazing is the familiarity amoung the members in the team. It is remarkable that Don Box not only knows each one of those he's introduced in the building, but also knows the minute details of the work they are doing.

• Oh! The long lobbyish corridoor. Every guy has a closed-door office. Remember, Chris Sell's tour of the MSDN Longhorn center? 
• At Microsoft, you always have help at an arm's length. You want help? Go ask the guy who's creating the technology you're stuck with - the ultimate source.
• Robert Scoble's cute outbursts of laughter. He's got a child-like laughter. I like it. It sounds so juvenile, and I like it very much.
  

Yet another excellent video from the Channel 9 crew.  I love it.  Always like seeing the inside of MS's buildings and being able to see what happens behind the walls and who does what.  Exciting stuff.

Seeing these videos makes me want to work for MS even more.  Lots of nice people.

In reply to Sathyaish Chakravarthy post about my "peculiar look":

During those days I was dealing with a serious eye fatigue that was causing me pain and made my eyes very sensitive to light. That was the main reason for having the lights dimmed in my office. Also, as you notice in the video, my office door was open, which at Microsoft means that "intrusions" are allowed.

Last but not least, I'm not a Hollywood actor used to be filmed every day, so having Don Box and Robert suddenly entering my office with the camera on was certainly a surprise.

It might look Dostoevskian from the outside, but it isn't actually.

Man you guys really party out their at MS don't you?

I am very sorry to hear about the eye fatique. I hope you've healed now. If not, I wish you a quick recovery. I beg your pardon if my comments have unintentionally caused you concern. I certainly didn't mean any ridicule, not even the least. I meant that the part of the video had a literary savour and it braught out the uber-geek quality of voluntary, solitary confinement of the geeks within their work-cells, which is actually quite appealing. I would probably have a more pensive look if I was in the middle of my work and was required to pop out of the zone. The intrusion I refer to was not meant to be intrusion in a literal sense.
