The 10 Best Features in Windows 8

Windows Phone 8 - Kids Corner and Rooms

For those you know you me, you know I am a little of a Windows fanboi. The reason that is I think I always liked Microsoft’s development tools.

There are a few interesting things in Windows Phone 8 I am looking forward to seeing.

1. Rooms. This is going to be great to have a place the family can share a calendar, notes, etc. without being in my “corp” calendar. I have been looking for this type of collaboration for a long time. With 3 boys, the family calendar is much more complex then a work calendar any day.

2. Kids Corner. The phone can be as much as a babysitter as a communication device most days, and having a way to lock the kids out of the important areas is a great idea.

Off to Build 2012, hope to get my hands on a few real Windows Phone 8 devices and take them for a test drive.

May the binary gods smile upon you,

Ryan

Remembrance Day to me is not just about those that died but those who came back with scars of the war and carried on. Gramp came back from the war with no legs. He still got married, had 5 great children, and successful career, he left too soon in 1994.

Remembrance Day for me is to remember what the veterans went through and still kept their heads high. When we think of our problems, remember those that died and those that returned. The mountains they climbed we cannot compare.
