On Microsoft and me

Joel Spolsky has written yet another interesting technology article, this time on the topic of the future of Microsoft. I found it a good read.

As for an update on me, I've been busy in London over the past two weeks. Liz and I went to see a couple of shows at the West End. I particularly enjoyed Oleanna. It's a drama that raises many intriguing questions about the nature of education and morality. Definitely a play which will roll around in my mind for a while to come.

We also took a trip to the famous city of Bath, together with my sister and cousin. I enjoyed that a lot. The town has a deep history and the Bath complex houses a large collection of Roman relics. Photos of this trip and others to come in the near future.

In the world of books, I've recently finished the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It was a fascinating book, and I'm looking forward to researching some of his 'facts' when I get a bit more time.
