I've gotten so much email that I'm just struggling mentally. It's all catching up now. I stayed at work until 4:30 a.m. (hey, no senioritis here!) and was back here at 9:30 a.m. for an interview with our new Vice President of Corporate Strategy, Alex Gounares (he just came off of a two-year-stint as Bill Gates technical assistant).
If you had any doubts whether the company was going to press on with blogging and customer conversations, have no doubt. Alex says the company is going to accelerate its usage of blogging. He says that they are seeing so many good things come out of the blogging movement inside the company that they'd be stupid to try to slow it down.
He also showed me the new ThinkWeek site. Now, for the first time, every employee can visit the site and vote for their favorite ThinkWeek papers. Oh, and they can see what Bill and other people thought about the papers.
I just realized I'm having the most weird experiences ever since I told everyone I quit. Not only did he give me one of the best interviews I've ever gotten but after the camera is off he gave me some personal business advice about things to look for in the video space.
Would you let an employee who announced to the world that he was leaving walk around your executive offices with a camcorder? I'm not sure many companies in the world would.
Oh, and he invited me back to work at Microsoft just in case my new gig didn't work out, but added "next time, though, we're gonna ask you some coding questions in your interview."
I joked back "they should have done that when they hired me the first time."

Well, while I'm in blog lock, I'm still digging out and still giving interviews. Tomorrow morning I'll be on BBC Radio.
Today Mary Jo Foley gave me my first "exit interview." Hers was easy. Charles Torre is planning to do one and he asks really tough questions, not looking forward to that!
Ed Brill, of IBM, notes that corporate blogs are often best used to talk to internal audiences. I totally agree. There's something about putting an idea in public that gets it considered a lot more strongly than just writing an email to a contained group of people. Anyway, Ed is taking stock of how many IBM employees read his blog.
Beet.TV was the one who broke my news (that'll teach me not to tell a few bloggers about what I was doing. Heheh.) and they have a bunch of video from VLoggercon, and some news from Google's video team as well.
I'm on BeachWalks with Rox (she does a show every day from a beach in Hawaii — sadly I wasn't in Hawaii for this one).
Leo Laporte, on This Week in Tech, says he has the last podcast I've done before I quit my job.
Any other video interviews? Leave a link in the comments here.

Inside Microsoft asks if I'll still be at a bunch of conferences. Yes, definitely. One of my first plans is to travel the world with John Furrier and get out of the echo chamber of Silicon Valley.
But, I do have my detractors. Among them is Shmula and some of his commenters who think I'm possibly not sincere. Bill Trippe thinks I'm not terribly interesting (he's right) and that my value just declined a whole lot (hope not, but he's probably right there too).
I give you a front-row seat on the future. Focusing most of my efforts now on next-generation augmented reality and artificial intelligence, AKA "mixed reality."

BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram.
Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc).
That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace.
Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble
He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993.
++++++++
SPEAKER PITCH:
Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next.
SPEECH ABSTRACT #1:
TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology?
Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI
Why "the Fourth Transformation?"
Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap.
This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV.
This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business.
Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #2:
"The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law."
Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world.
He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world.
He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small.
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #3:
"Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?"
As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world.
What role does augmented reality play in both worlds?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

Meh. You dont’ take a job because of what other people think.
You take the job because it will make you happier, and let you do more of what you want.
John, no, but other people’s perspectives, particularly when they have more experience than you do, are worth listening to and considering. Rick’s was.

Good advice doesn’t consist of telling people what to do. Good advice consists of telling them things that help them figure out what to do for themselves.
Robert,
I’m honestly flattered that my advice played a role. And, I have to admit to having felt a ping of trepidation before sending it off to you with the full knowledge of what the result might well have been. In the end, though, if you care about people, you still have to do what you can to help them work things out.

Hey Robby,
I knew you wouldn’t last up here (Seattle) very long! One thing about Geeks…when you live in San Jose the few times you do get outdoors it is usually nice out. Here….not so much…case in point, it’s been raining for five days now! Someday I’m sure I’ll move back to the Bay Area…well, maybe not. We’ve talked about a BBQ since you moved up here…you’ll have to tell me when you’re leaving so we can actually get one done!

Congrats on the new gig! You’ve left an indelible mark at Microsoft. I am sure they are discussing ways to fill the void. It is generally true that an employee’s worth is appraised in hindsight… otherwise negotiating your own raise wouldn’t be so difficult! Heh. I’m being autobiographical.

In all true sincerity, wish you the best of luck, even if a bubble (which it most assuredly is), you will have tons of fun playing with Video’isms and doing PRish wonky type of things, just keep that short-sell finger all trigger-happy (and get a Steadicam).
BUT if Hollywood/LA or Burbank/NYC calls, leave the techie start-ups behind in a dizzy headspin, and put me on speed dial. Use your celebrity-power to like meet JJ Abrams. 😉
Didyah see Sonic Foundry’s Mediasite™, their new Podcastingish tool? Sonic has always done good stuff, and speaking of Sonic, Sony’s new Cinescore kicks (Go Sony go), all Acidish without the hassle. Also ITP Research kicked up Video Comments, which is a WordPress Plugin for, guess what…commenting on Videos. Also Paula A. Kerger of PBS, is going serious full-speed-ahead on VOD, per John Boland’s appt. And more and more podish news out there, news bubble for sure too. Reminds me of the Wired 1995 era, where every dot.com was hailed as the second coming, and everyone was worshipping at the Church of the Early Adopters. (Woulda emailed the newsbits, but seems it will be weeks before you come up for air).
PS – What NLE you use? Also Final Draft AV is kicking “podcast planner”, btw. Should look into that, I much perfer the pure Final Draft, but warmed to AV for some Videography work of late, plus the ad agencies (pox on them) like AV over real screenplayish style.

It’s funny you mentioned about coding questions … because, funnily enough, it always seems tougher to get into big companies when you are looking for non code-developer kind of gigs. I mean, what would be the direct path to someone who knew his technology but didn’t want a coding job?!
During graduation, I heard this from numerous friends who were in job hunting mode (me, I just did the startup thingy!)
Lets take an example … someone has a successful startup, it grows, matures, and outside directors/managers are given control and/or it gets merged/sold. How can someone with this resume even approach one of the software biggies for a job. Not through the /jobs part of the website for sure … that only deals with one kind of serious job … programming!

I’ll be interested to see if you have become so closely tied to Microsoft that you’ll never be known as anything else.
Either way, I’m very happy for you! It sounds like you’ll be very happy in the direction you’ve decided to set out in.

Robert,
It’s funny you mentioned about coding questions … because, funnily enough, it always seems tougher to get into big companies when you are looking for non code-developer kind of gigs. I mean, what would be the direct path to someone who knew his technology but didn’t want a coding job?!
During graduation, I heard this from numerous friends who were in job hunting mode (me, I just did the startup thingy!)
Lets take an example … someone has a successful startup, it grows, matures, and outside directors/managers are given control and/or it gets merged/sold. How can someone with this resume even approach one of the software biggies for a job. Not through the /jobs part of the website for sure … that only deals with one kind of serious job … programming!

I saw the “Cutts” on your shirt and thought, “No way… does that say what I think it says?”
Hehe, nice shirt.
