January Mashup, and the first ever salaried Microsoft employee

Posted By: Tina Wood | Feb 4th, 2007 @ 2:21 PM
There's nothing I love more then a group of creative people getting together and brainstorming on how to change the world.  Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is a close second though.  Jon Pincus invited me to January's Mashup Day. A day where Microsoft employees get together, drink some beer and create Mashups that will hopefully one day change the world. I also had the chance to interview Marc McDonald, who went to high school with Bill Gates and is the very first Microsoft Salaried Employee.  He also did a great channel nine interview. Don't forget to check out the Ad Astra experience too.

How many Mashups a year does Microsoft hold?

Nice insight into the type of people who attend the Mashups.  I was particularly impressed with the guitar strings that choreographed the cuts.

BTW, your on the spot interviews are the best, Tina.

On another topic - when, if ever, will we see the conclusion to your Genelex DNA lab segment?

Approximately one Mashup per month internally at Microsoft, plus additional external Mashups like the Mashup Lounge at MIX'07 plus online Mashup capabilities through resources like: http://www.mashupguy.com/
