Email interview with the Superman Returns team up on 10

Posted on November 30th

Normally I do video for 10, but in this case I had a bunch of questions and I decided to see if the team behind Superman Returns would be up for answering them via email. They were, and the whole conversation is up as a post on http://on10.net […]

Check out the new Community Bar on on10.net

Posted on November 29th

One of my jobs over the past couple of weeks has been to build a javascript based 'toolbar' that could run across the top of on10.net and show folks headlines aggregated from a variety of Microsoft Community sites. So, along with a bunch of help from Adam and Erik, I managed to get it finished and d […]

Microsoft is working at home today!

Posted on November 28th

Wow, back in Winnipeg this amount of snow wouldn't likely cause much of a slow down... but here... I'm at home and so are lots of my team mates. Pretty snow though :) […]

Creating backgrounds for your Zune

Posted on November 20th

On the Zune, any picture on the device can be set as the background for all of the menus, providing a great way to customize the look of your Zune. The screen on your Zune is 240 pixels wide and 320 pixels high (holding it in 'portrait mode', with the navigation pad at the bottom), so that is the […]

Laura Foy with Pizza and a line up of PS3 fans... hmm...

Posted on November 19th

Probably not the best plan in the world, but we sent Laura out with Pizza and a Premium Xbox 360 to try and win the hearts and minds of a line up of PS3 buyers at Target... watch the video on 10 (download only right now)... and maybe we'll do the same for the Wii? […]

Posted on November 8th

If you are looking for Aero/Glass style icons... check out http://www.vistaico.com/ This is a spin-off site from http://www.vistaicons.com/ where you can find a few more icons... I'm still trying to find the money side of this (I'm assuming you give away good icons to lead to a purchase of more […]

Hooking an Xbox up to a PC monitor

Posted on November 5th

Ok, so if I was dealing with a 360, I could just pick up the VGA output cable... but for some reason, we never made one of those for the original Xbox. Now, I've found some companies that make reasonably priced converters from component video inputs to VGA (I've found several in the unreasonabl […]

24 Hours to Boston and Back

Posted on November 3rd

 Last night I jumped on a flight at around 11pm in Seattle and flew to Boston, getting in around 7am, then I drove up to the offices of Mad Doc software... makers of quite a few cool games, including Empire Earth II, Star Trek Armada II and now Star Trek: Legacy for the Xbox 360 (and for the PC […]
