Jim Newkirk emailed me earlier today to inform me that Microsoft will host the next Simple Design and Testing Conference on September 19th, 20th and 21st. It would be at the conference center in Downers Grove. Exact address:

Microsoft Midwest
3025 Highland Pkwy., Suite 300
Downers Grove, IL 60515

Its good to see Microsoft support the SDTConf. All credit should go to Jim for getting this approved.

Will soon update the website with details.

From today, I started biking (cycling) to work. I realized that there was no point in me traveling alone in my car when I can reach work in about the same time without contributing to the pollution and congestion. It is also a great way to burn some calories.

It takes me 10 mins to get to work and guess what, I don’t have to wait at traffic lights. I’m still concerned about rains and heat strokes in Mumbai. But that is certainly a few months away and I decided to “make hay while the sunshines”.
