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.
