			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I often come across interesting articles online and want to share them some way on my blog.  I considered a few different ways to do this, including incorporating a microblogging platform like Twitter into my blog, but I think it will be better to simply make longer blog posts with several links when I accumulate enough.  I guess I’ll give this a try.  Here is what’s news to me:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/05/microsoft-surface-sp1-adds-new-features.ars">Microsoft Surface SP1 adds a slew of new features.</a><br />
I thought this was really cool.  I think Microsoft Surface technology is really great, and would love to develop applications for it one day.  I also love videos that give insight into the workings of big (software) companies like Microsoft.  This video is included in the linked post:</p>
<div id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:ddf6f8b1-1b17-40bc-a719-9be3878422f2" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px">
<div><object width="425" height="355" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/g4xxNpijEKQ&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g4xxNpijEKQ&amp;hl=en" /></object></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.doobybrain.com/2009/05/08/long-exposure-shows-roomba-cleaning-path/">Long exposure shows Roomba cleaning path</a><br />
I’m a Roomba owner myself, so that made me even more inclined to think that this picture was really cool:<br />
<a href="http://www.doobybrain.com/2009/05/08/long-exposure-shows-roomba-cleaning-path/"><img style="display: inline" title="Roomba cleaning path" src="http://mypieceoftheinter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/roombamovements.jpg" alt="Roomba cleaning path" width="600" height="400" /></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/chris-dannen/techwatch/11-killer-apps-microsoft-surface-videos">11 Killer Apps for Microsoft Surface</a><br />
Some of the apps are pretty ridiculous, but I do like this video:<br />
<object width="560" height="340" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/baDJNtBT1Fg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/baDJNtBT1Fg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></li>
<li><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10235400-16.html">Microsoft search to be powered by open source</a><br />
I thought this was interesting, because it contradicts Microsoft’s “monolithic evil empire” stereotype.  Keep an eye on <a href="http://kumo.com">kumo.com</a>.</li>
<li> <a href="http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/05/leaked-office-2010-technical-preview-screenshots.ars">Leaked: Office 2010 Technical Preview screenshots</a><br />
I am looking forward to getting my hands on the Office 2007 Beta, especially to see the Ribbon in OneNote and Outlook.<br />
<a href="http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/05/leaked-office-2010-technical-preview-screenshots.ars"><img style="display: inline" title="onenote_2010_tech_preview" src="http://mypieceoftheinter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/onenote-2010-tech-preview.jpg" alt="onenote_2010_tech_preview" width="615" height="308" /></a></li>
</ol>
<p>That’s it for now I guess.  Hopefully I’ll continue to do this. <img src='http://mypieceoftheinter.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
