Hello everyone!

After several months (and even years) of contemplation, I've finally decided to take the plunge and be in the same league as Google, Microsoft or Yahoo - own a domain name and some webspace :-)

Why?

Well, all the cool kids have one. Seriously, the real reason is that I'm tired of hunting for space online to keep my various virtual knick-knacks.

The bigger reason is that I was uncomfortable about blogging non-technical stuff at my blogs.msdn blog. Of course, no one inside the big house has ever questioned any MSDN blogger on why he or she is blogging about their weekend trips. But it just felt wrong for me to use up Microsoft's bandwidth and web space to indulge my own pet literary fantasies

Are you going to kill your MSDN blog?

No.

My plan is to cross-blog all technical and Microsoft related writing.

Which blog do I subscribe to?

If you ask me, I would say this one :-). It's upto you - if you want your irregular dose of technical MSFT employee Sriram Krishnan to be unadulterated with accounts of his Quake IV exploits or his musings on the software industry and life in general, stick to the MSDN blog.

But give this blog a shot first

Bryan Adams - Here I am


...
Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day - it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am
