Wish edits to documents were as easy on the current Office for Windows Mobile. I like using Office on my Touch Pro2 but it is nowhere near the experience that we will apparently get with Windows Phone 7.

Splits conversation views in Outlook 2010
April 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The new conversation threads view in Outlook 2010 is a great feature, it already has improved my inbox view a lot. Here is a video from the Outlook team at Microsoft that shows what happens when a thread gets split into several threads. It took me a day to get used to it (old habits die hard) but now that I’ve got the hang of it, I wouldn’t want to miss it. Now I am hoping we will migrate to Exchange 2010 soon too, so that I get the threaded conversations on my smartphone too.

Innovation = Insight, Plan and Commercialization?
March 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
“When I use the word innovation, I think of three interlocking components:
- Insight or inspiration suggesting an opportunity to do something different to create value
- An idea or plan to build an offering based on that insight or inspiration
- The translation of that plan into a successful business (in simple terms, commercialization)”

Schedule view in Outlook 2010
March 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The schedule view in Outlook 2010 looks like it could be really useful. I’ve been trying out the Beta version of Outlook 2010 at home with my private email account but not for scheduling meetings with others. Screenshot courtesy of the official blog of the Microsoft Outlook product team. More on schedule view here.
I already can’t wait to move to Outlook 2010 at work, just because of the threaded email conversation view. Not everyone likes it but just from using it on the private account, I know it will make my work inbox easier to manage.

My favourite photo from our Costa Rica vacation

Not sure what these two monkeys were upset about (while sharing a banana) but it made for a great photo opportunity. I took this photo during a boat tour in Palo Verde national park. More photos from the tour are available here.
Digital Journal
March 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Engadget posted two videos of user interface for the Microsoft ‘Courier’ tablet/e-book/digital journal concept in action. Not sure if Microsoft is really working on it but it looks cool. I love working with Evernote and OneNote, but this concept would add a whole new dimension. I especially like how digital features seem to have been created to support and enhance how people actually take notes with pen and paper – instead of putting digital features first. If this is real (or becomes reality) I could see myself using this and being comfortable with it. I am sure some people think using a stylus is outdated but to me this is a whole new “back to the future” take on the idea of digital note-taking.
