There are three segments to this walkthrough the PDC. We walk from one end of the PDC hall to the other. We start out behind the scenes. We run into Microsoft execs and Tantek Celik (CTO at Technorati). Oh the fun and the FOOD! This was filmed Wednesday night. Gives you a good idea of what the hall felt like.

Great video. Thanks. Big Smile

Seriously, this video goes in the top 10 of all time good videos. It gives you a real feeling for what the PDC is like.

Out of sheer luck there I am the first guy saying "Hello" to Jeff and Robert as they exited the "PDC bull pen" room and went out into the hallway.  (At 1:45 in the first video.)  I can be heard calling out, "Thanks for posting my video on Channel 9!"  That video was ScottGu's in-depth demo of ASP.NET 2.0 that I filmed which posted a couple weeks ago:

It's very cool when some of your own stuff makes it to C9.  Looking forward to when the PDC Show Off videos come out.  There are some good ones in the mix.  I threw a couple into the ring there, one featuring two bedraggled developers who whip out a block of code to create bar codes.  Another for my friend Scott Cate which shows how he uses AJAX on his site.  I hope they're well-received when they hit.  And I also hope that not too much is lost during the recompression to make it Internet-friendly at 300kbps!

Also cool to see the gadget guy (didn't catch his name... Dean something?) show his high def camera, the Sony HC1 at around 16:15 on the first video.  I've got one also, and I agree that WMV-HD is great for distributing HD content.  Glad that the new HD-DVD decks will directly support it.  Bought my cam in Japan back in June, the first week it was released over there.  Been a fun ride experimenting with it.

Long live Channel 9!

Give us some ideas of things you'd like for us to show you and we'll do more of these tours.

This is not so much a tour suggestion as an interview one… I’ve been wondering, are we ever going to get to meet the MSN Messenger team? (ie not Office Communicator, Spaces or Alerts as I assume there is a core Messenger group as well).

I know this is slightly off-topic, but could you guys get some more bandwidth? For the first 24 hours or so after a video is posted I get around 4kb/sec.
