About

This is a blog where I'm just figuring out what I want to write about. The end goal will be to focus on design decisions and their impact on the user experience. The content will be more serious as time goes on. But for now it is a new toy and I'll write about whatever in order to get some momentum. It is also a site that allows me to experiment with the latest software components used to build web sites.

Full disclosure

I worked from 1999 through 2007 for Tellme which was acquired by Microsoft. I continued on and remained working on the Speech@Microsoft team until May of 2011. I won't comment directly on anything that my team worked on and I will generally try to avoid talking about my former employer or their competition. Apple is generally excluded from this rule since I have been an Apple user since I was a school boy and I am an owner and user of many of their products.
