3 weeks 6 days ago	I don't think I've ever used	I don't think I've ever used an umbrella in Seattle.  This really isn't midwest rain.  It's just... moist.   The lack of daylight in the winter months bother me more than the rain. On the other hand, there's no better place to be in the U.S. than Seattle in the summer.
3 weeks 6 days ago	Just joking around.  I don't	Just joking around.  I don't disagree, except for the Seattle Times comment section.  They're gold!  I especially like "I've lived here since 1970 and I hate all the new people" guy.
3 weeks 6 days ago	Good summary.  North of the	Good summary.  North of the canal is great, but you'll never make it to work.  I would avoid I-5 at all costs.  If you have to live on the west side, find a neighborhood where you can take side streets to get onto 520. As far as the eastside goes, I'd personally do downtown Kirkland.  Downtown Redmond is growing like crazy and is an easy commute. Sammamish is suburban hell.  Issaquah isn't a bad option.    You're probably too young for Woodenville. Don't go further away from Bellevue than Woodenville in the north or Issaquah in the south.

22 weeks 2 days ago	If Office 365 is really free	If Office 365 is really free for non profits, that seems like a great deal.  You'll also get Teams with it and sharepoint, maybe coupled with Teams sounds like what you would want.
22 weeks 2 days ago	I think it's a very good	I think it's a very good tool, I just haven't figured out exactly how to use it along side Skype for Business.  It's a more featured IM/Slack competitor with sharepoint on the back end.  I set it up for my team, but it just seems like another thing everyone has to check along with email.  I think eventually it'll replace Skype for Business as the chat client, but it's not quite there. If I was starting from scratch, I might use it, along with Sharepoint for a project.

2 years 7 weeks ago	If nothing else, it's changed	If nothing else, it's changed due to reorgs.  Terry Myerson owns all of Windows and Devices, so there's at least some synergy there (devices will feature WIndows features and vice versa).  Satya has also been good with supporting iOS and Android, which Balmer was slow to do. My area (Super Magic Holo Goggles) seems to have pretty good cross discipline "culture".  Stack Ranking is gone... though in reality, it'll always exist in some form.  Now we have 20 ranks instead of 5.

Go back and log in and the reply should go through fine. I'll fix it so you get a notification when you're not logged in (which I thought was there at some point)
