MY DAY AT MICROSOFT

Microsoft Campus in Autumn

Touring the Microsoft campus was incredible, but it was talking to the people behind the projects that was entirely inspiring. I spent the day with a group of engineers who are working on building something bold and beautiful to say the very least.

Meet David Lee - a Lead Engineer at Microsoft in the Office division. We had a number of deep conversations about programming in a manner that preserves design intention. So much going on behind the scenes at Microsoft.

  Cheers to more brilliance to come.

So, this was interesting. Microsoft has come out with Realtime Crowd Insights that use facial recognition to detect age, sex and emotion. As I'm actually 37, the fact that I was analyzed as '30' made me entirely happy. Don't believe me, check out the associated emoticon. 

On another note, a saw (and touched) a piece of the Berlin Wall. Yep, Microsoft has a piece preserved on campus.
