We need a "Rock Band" bailout

Daniel Chait — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:17:39 -0400

Here are Mix09, for some reason they thought it was a good idea to set up a stage and invite attendees to play Rock Band in public. Right outside the press work room, where I spend most of my time here. And, they turn it up loud!

All of us in the press work room have agreed, no civilian should be legally allowed to sing anything by Alice in Chains, Queen, or the Chili Peppers in public. Surely the Obama administration can do something about this.

At Mix I had the opportunity to test out the Microsoft Arc Mouse:

It's a geniunely nice product - comfortable, solid feeling (it feels weighty for its size) and clever (folds up nicely and has a magnetic dock for its USB dongle).

Obviously, not a DLR user

Daniel Chait — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:27:28 -0400

As you can see below, I saw someone wearing a t-shirt here at Mix09 that reads, "I'm Not Slacking Off. My Code's Compiling":

Clearly this guy is not using PowerShell or the DLR!
