My personal blog has links to all the places I exist online. In 2023, one of my goals is to get back into writing on my blog. I miss it. Going to spend the next two weeks writing stuff that I might publish.
Today we are kicking off a new series of detailed and technical articles that dive deep into the behind-the-scenes on the development of the Windows OS called Windows Internals. First topic? The Windows Kernel!

No, that update just accidentally includes that banner. Another Paint update will be rolling out shortly that fixes this and removes that banner. Apologies.
Windows 3.0 is 30 years old. This was the very first version of Windows I ever used and I was 6 years old. It changed my life. What was the first version of Windows you ever used?
Still really excited about everything announced at our
#MicrosoftEvent
earlier this week. Can't wait to add the

Laptop Studio & Ocean Plastic Mouse to my collection.

Hey
@StarTrek
I ordered this coffee cup from your online store for my dad and this is what I got. A picture of a coffee cup on a coffee cup? You’ve got to be kidding me.
I was just told that the reason I am single is because my profile picture is of me wearing a "Star Trek costume with a squirt gun". Sir, it's a phaser replica.
5 years ago today, we officially announced
#Windows10
to the world. I remember being a giggling fanboy in my office in Redmond when the announcement went out. I was so excited! And I still am.
I normally don't share things like this but this is me and my little sister. I worry about her and what could happen even if she simply gets pulled over for speeding. I make it a point to always check in with her and how she is feeling.
Not only is today my birthday, but 10 years ago I interviewed for and accepted a job to be a full-time employee at
@Microsoft
. My dream job. I am so very lucky.
I just published a blog post I've been working on for about a week on how I an managing my

Tom Holland should quit doing the next Spider-Man movies over this. Sony can sue him but all it'll do is make Sony look like assholes for suing their lead guy for these films.
Looks like Spider-Man is out of the MCU. This is upsetting. The movie studios are being greedy and petty about money. And the fans are the ones who suffer.
I was having a rough day yesterday and messed up an email to a large group of folks.
@shanselman
sent a reply to just me and told me to get some fries and be happy and he was 100% right. Fries were delicious and they made me happy.
Picked up a

No. A new Microsoft Store app is not rolling out. It's simply an *update* (like we normally release) to the existing Store app in Windows 10 with improvements. The Store now displays the same whatever the size of the window and has an updated progress ring. That's it.
Date: "What makes you happy?"
Me: "Finally getting the latest build into the Slow ring for Windows Insiders."
Date: "...uh, I have to go. I need to walk my plants..."
Me: 😐
Heads up
#WindowsInsiders
, those of you running Microsoft Edge Canary can preview Edge's new visual design on Windows 11 by enabling the "Enable Windows 11 Visual Updates" flag under edge://flags! Give feedback!
I bought my mom a

Laptop 4 this weekend for her birthday, Christmas, and birthday next year and she is over the moon excited. I upgraded her to Windows 11 and she loves it. ❤️
Here are some of my favorite photos from today's road trip into eastern Washington. I found sunshine and blue sky and peace and quiet. It was joyous and very much needed. (I have to figure out a better way of sharing my photography.)
Tomorrow is going to be a REALLY good day. More

Hey all you Microsoft Edge fans... we've been working on some plans to make Edge more compatible and more broadly available. We think this will make users, developers and IT Managers ALL happier with Edge!
Here's the details...

#AreYouFlightingYet
I was writing a personal blog about all the awesome things Microsoft announced in 2019. I never finished it before the end of the year. Should I finish it and publish it anyway?
We are so very proud and excited to announce the next gen of Windows:

Introducing
#Windows11
. This is the beginning of the next gen of Windows. The details in craftsmanship throughout the OS come together to empower you to produce and inspire you to create. Incredibly proud of the team for bringing this product to life!
I just hate that people don’t let others enjoy things. It’s ok not to like something. But so many people are hell-bent on pushing their dislike and hatred of “stuff” onto others and it’s just awful. This whole “I hate this and everyone else should too” mentality needs to stop.
5 years ago today, as part of the
#Windows10
announcement, we also announced the Windows Insider Program! Registration would open up the next day for
#WindowsInsiders
to sign-up to try early Technical Preview builds of Windows 10.
Really sorry I haven't been so active on Twitter lately. I've been working hard to manage my anxiety and one thing that has been helpful has been limiting my exposure to all the news being thrown out about COVID-19.
