Any designers going to CHI in Portland next week?

Julie Stringham, the Microsoft recruiter for design and usability, will be there.  She's also hosting a par-tay on Wednesday night.  Check out the details here:  http://blogs.msdn.com/jobsblog/archive/2005/04/01/404738.aspx

Gimp is less than half the price, it's free, and it works on windows and linux.

how about paint.net?

i flew on a plane ONCE and it almost crashed.

no thanks   (gotta love the internet=why fly?)


*im not a designer - i have been Creative Director at 4 companies - and i doubt ms needs that

**yes they were all my companies... so??  haha ;p

Yeah, I saw some of the stuff Jamie did for Josh's logo contest.  Really impressive!

Doh, that wasn't Josh on that last post ... that was me.  Damn that log-in.    And no, Josh doesn't speak of himself in the 3rd person.

Microsoft users can login as other Microsoft users(or even non-Microsoft users)? That isn't very safe for an of us. A crooked Microsoftian could just log in as anyone in Microsoft (inclusive of the C9Team - Charles, Lenn, Scoble) and do anything they want. Upload Longhorn to the Sandbox (I wish!), destroy the UI of Channel9, delete lots of threads etc. SOunds pretty dangerous to me... Can't wait to get a job at Microsoft Muhahahaha!


Please disprove me.

You know how they say, "wife and husband should share... "

Didn't know that either.

I wrote that from the laptop in our living room.  Josh was already signed into Channel9 as himself, but since I usually log in from my work computer and it automatically recognizes me, I forgot to check the "Logged in as" at the top of the screen.  I just assumed it was logged in as me.

But I have no idea what Josh's password is ... or anyone else's for that matter.   It was just a case of sharing the same computer and not checking to see who was logged in.
