It was great to catch up with Pete Grondal at Streamign Media West to hear what he is doing at Microsoft. Lots of XBox and Zune creativity.

I hope I'll be able to get up to Microsoft to visit.

Just prior to my session on streaming video over Wi-Fi, I played a selection of recent videos I've streamed from my Nokia N95 using Qik.com.

Here's my interview with Dane Cook up on the big screen. Great A/V support for speakers at Streaming Media West.
