I am staying at the Westin in downtown Seattle. The view is just awesome from here.

Blogging from the MVP Summit 2008

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Now most of you realize that I am bound by NDA on most of what we discuss and learn at the MVP Summit, so I won’t be reporting much on that on any of my sites. I can say that it has been a blast. I have really enjoyed meeting fellow Windows Mobile and Zune MVPS. The social aspect has been great. I know and I have already met most of my fellow Windows Mobile MVPs, but I am meeting all the Zune guys for the 1st time. I have blogged on GotZune about some of this already.

What is really cool and makes me feel even better about what I do, especially since this is all just a hobby, is running into people that know me online. I had a session yesterday with Rob Greenlee, that was just awesome. This morning, I had another really cool encounter. I was smoking a cig before the keynotes and was chit chatting with a couple Windows Live MVPs and discovered after 5 minutes that one of them was a reader of GotZune and Mobilitysite. His name was Steven Boots. What’s even cooler is that he and I communicated via email before. Wanting to keep up with his info, I popped out my laptop and searched his name and found a back and forth we had already had. It’s surely a small world.
