When you're in charge of something so large, so easily modified by the public, and so potentially impactful, how do you actually do it?

Accuracy, relevance, usefulness, language, abuse, and more - these are just a few things that might keep you up at night if you're one of the people overseeing...

[Note: Looks like I made a couple small mistakes while chunking the original interview up into smaller pieces. While it looked like they were ending at exactly the right time, it appears each video has an extra second or two of talking that I meant to cut off. The result is that the video stops right...

This short video is the first of a four part series in which I sat down with Fabrice Fonck and Molly Bostic to talk about the MSDN DevWiki project.

As usual, I walked in thinking I already had a good grasp on the subject, but quickly found out that things were much more complex than I ever would have...

Very few Channel 9 videos begin with the firing of a trebuchet.

This is one of those videos.

Scott and I barged in on Vance Morrison, an architect on the .NET Runtime team, and spent some quality time with him assaulting a wall (we won - the wall didn't even put up a fight) and then talking about...

Scott Hanselman is a pretty well known guy around the .NET world for a bajillion reasons (reasons will not be listed here).

We decided to make it a bajllion and one reasons.

Scott has a podcast, produced by Carl Franklin of .NET Rocks fame, called HanselMinutes. It seems to be generally well liked, and...

[Note: Although I, Rory Blyth, Channel 9 superstar and grade D internet celebrity am posting this video, I didn't actually make it. The credit goes to Brian Keller - an evangelist for Team System. So... pretty cool ]

Jim Lamb and Buck Hodges on the Team Foundation Server team show off the new Continuous...

There was one booth at TechFest that was constantly jammed with people. Everybody wanted to interview Andy Wilson.

I'm not quite sure what to call his work. I can think of all sorts of adjectives with which to describe it, but an actual name escapes me.

I will say that I had never seen anything...

Had some technical difficulties with posting this video yesterday, but we seem to be back online and working.

That's a good thing - this another video in the TechFest series, but it isn't especially business oriented.

Imagine if part of your job was to learn how to play Quake III.

Yeah....

TechFest is quite the event. The room it's taking place in isn't especially big, but it seems enormous because any geek with an ounce of good geeky sense knows to stop at every single last booth.

Nothing bores. Nothing displeases.

It's all amazing.

In this video, you'll get to take a look at...

If you could see me now, I'm a giddy, happy, silly little niner.

I just learned about something at Microsoft that happens every year called "TechFest". It's a convention for Microsoft Research, meant to provide a glimpse of what goes on in what I now think of as the Area 51 of Microsoft....
