I have been working on a mindMap that illustrates the kinds of activities, research and technologies that me and my co-workers do in our everyday practice. While I realize that this is somewhat specific to our company and the work that we do I thought it would be interesting to get feedback on it. I hope to refine this as we develop the practice.

So if you have anything that you’d like to share, please comment on Flickr.

It is a theme that aims to be anything and to be the best at being anything. It degrades beautifully. It embraces the best available practices in blog design.

So actually the Sandbox is a lot of things:

  • Very beautiful on the inside
  • For WordPress 2.0.x through 2.2.x
  • Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional
  • Widgets plugin-friendly
  • The basis for innumerable designs, themes

More importantly, the Sandbox can be a lot of things. The real feature of the Sandbox is its markup. The use of class-generating functions in key elements (the body, post div, and comment li elements) creates the most extensible WordPress theme available.

So Microsoft is going to have a busy year with many product releases and betas. The Mix06 conference was cool and I’m looking forward to them continuing. Albert from Bubbleshare got to have lunch with Bill Gates and hopefully he can turn that event into some MSFT love $$$.

Check out the Link below to see pictures from the keynote on Bubbleshare some of them are very funny
