Microsoft unveils .Net speech platform. Technical preview leaves no doubt about entering a new market [InfoWorld: Top News]  This has taken a while. I remember being exposed to Speech.NET almost 2 years ago while in Redmond. 11:25:54 AM

O'Reilly has announced OnDotNet. At first glance it apeared to be a renaming of the .NET Dev Center until I found Shawn's editorial: "The goal of ONDotnet.com is to create a destination for the .NET community by ensuring content that is immediately applicable to working and weekend-warrior developers, while not ignoring the future of .NET and all of its related technologies (e.g. Web Services, GXA, XQuery, etc.)." Having Shawn as the editor is fantastic. Shawn has been in the trenches for years and as the ADO Guy has been dispensing valuable knowledge for years. Congrats! 8:32:03 AM
