Blog Bio

I discovered blogging in 2002. [no photos available]
I took to blogging like a shark to its first scent of blood.
This is my second blog. Well, technically, this is *my* first blog…
Microsoft “owns” the other one..
This is my first blog post since June 7, 2007.
[[Gosh, I've missed you blog.]]
I left Microsoft in August 2007 and now work at Yahoo!

Yahoo! does not own this blog. I own Yahoo!
Microsoft does not own this blog. I own Microsoft.
For the first time in my life, I blog freely. I am the king of me.

My .Plan (what to expect on this blog)

  • Reclaim and add commentary to posts I published on my erstwhile Microsoft blog: Korby Parnell’s Wunderkammer…at least those that have stood the test of time.
  • New Posts about: Software development: design, methodology, technology, opportunities, challenges, and people with a focus on:
    • Web Services
    • Social computing (e.g. reputation) and possible business opportunities/challenges
    • New (and some old) tools or products that I use and found helpful or hopeful, like EC3 and FireEagle.
    • Emerging personal publication media, like WikiWiki, blogs, podcasts.
    • Windows/Mac/LAMP stacks, in no particular priority order.
    • My “science projects”
    • Paradigms and business models, like SOA and OSS
    • Assistive resources (people, websites, books, events & etc) that I used and found helpful.
  • Land Use Policy and Development Regulations, with a focus on
    • Municipal land use policy and its application to other disciplines or impact on the shape of our future world.
    • Redmond, King County, Washington State, United States, and World, in that order.
    • Broadband spectrum allocation, in the US and abroad.
    • The democratization of information through the application of high technology solutions
    • High tech solutions to land use needs, like RFID-embedded automobile license plates, for pay-per-use road taxation.
  • Color Commentary
    • A blog without color is a bluh-g.
