This is more like just a diary entry to remind myself looking back... it was a very cool day at work. The term "work" probably isn't even a fair description, it was more like a really good day at school.
Today I met Andy van Dam in a very small setting, he demonstrated a new interaction paradigm, and I got to ask a question, albeit a newbie question. If I had known I'd meet him today, I would have brought my "Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice" for him to sign.
Then I attended an MS training course about product cycle management, it was quite fast-paced, intense, sobering, thrilling, and eye-opening. At first, I was disappointed that it coincided with free tickets to Spiderman, but the training course was far more exciting and rewarding in the end. I got to work with a team of other newcomers from different universities like Waterloo, UT Austin, MIT., CMU, etc..
Then I finished making some beautiful interactive samples in nothing but a text editor. All XAML, not one snippet of code. Going from notepad to full-screen hardware rendering with just a double-click is sooooo sweet.

Well, I guess commenting worked that time. I go to reproduce a bug and look what happens! For the record, when it didn't work, I had "remember info" checked, and I previewed the post, and then I tried to post, and that was when I got the server error.
