As a strong proponent of cloud computing in general, as well as the convergence of cloud computing and intelligent device networks in particular, I was absolutely thrilled and honored to participate in the Azure SDR process. This is an invitation-only club and only about 50 people from all over the world get to attend. Due to my NDA with Microsoft I cannot name names, but suffice it to say that there some real heavyweights from some of the biggest companies in the world in this little crowd - not to mention some of the more famous Microsoft personalities known to geeks like me worldwide. The 2 SDR events that I have attended so far have proven to be some of the most rewarding professional development experiences that I have yet encountered.
Late in January of this year I attended my second Azure SDR event and at one point during the 4 day session I was interviewed by the Microsoft technical media team known as Channel 9. This was a great experience as well and yesterday they published the interview along with a case study about Advanced Telemetry. Now, let me say that I was coming down with a head cold and as a result my voice was a little raspy. Whats more, I have done precious few on-camera interviews in my career and, as you will see, the lack of experience clearly shows.
Anyway, I thought it might be of interest to some of the folks that follow my blog but have never met me.
For some reason the video format is a little goofy on the case study link, so for a better version of the video alone you can go right to the Channel 9 outlet here:

Enjoy.
