Happiness LXVIII

Being extremely busy this week, I’ve found happiness in productivity.  How about you?

Vista’s Road to Gold

Road to Gold Paul Thurrott has posted his first piece in his series Road to Gold.

Paul has always had great opportunities to review early versions of products from Microsoft.  He enthusiastically does this with an eye for detecting the not-so-finished features that would trip up the average user.

Since I’m an avid technology buff working in IT, I regularly read his reviews, and this one should be another great retrospective of the process of getting from the Longhorn concepts to Vista the product.

Thanks Paul!

Shadow Divers

Picked up a book last week that I have not been able to put down.  Its called Shadow Divers, and is about those two divers on the History Channel’sDeep Sea Detectives“.  This is an exciting book, its a non-fiction work that details the discovery and investigation of a unknown WWII U-boat off the New Jersey coast.  Anyone who enjoys the History Channel show should check this book out.
