My name is Brandon Satrom.
This is me… pointing at something.
I like to talk. It’s usually good to have someone around to stop me. My wife is good at that. Clark Sell is too.
I live in Austin, TX and work for Microsoft as a Developer Evangelist. For me, that means four things:
- Write Code
- Hang out with people smarter than me
- Write about code
- Give presentations about code
It’s a pretty sweet job. And yes, that is my order of preference.
Oh, and when I say “write code,” I don’t mean “write demos for presentations.” I mean actual code. I build actual sites and solutions. How else could I do #3 and #4?
Most of the code I’m writing these days is open source. I’m a committer on the MvcContrib project and created a jQuery Plugin for adding IE Site Pinning capabilities to websites. It was called ie9ify at first, but that was a dumb name. We call it pinify now. Shiny. Do check it out though, and read about Site Pinning here.
I do some speaking, from time to time, and you can read all about that here.
I also do a lot of technical writing, you can read all about that here.
I also write fiction, but not so much lately. Kids, busy job and all that. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. Perhaps someday, Dan Ducat, I will finish the novel in my desk drawer. For now, you can see how much I’m not writing by going to http://www.brandonsatrom.com.
In addition to this blog, I also spend more time than I should on Twitter as @BrandonSatrom. If you’re there, let’s follow one another and further the decline of western civilization, one tweet at a time.
I’m on LinkedIn too. Seems like we’re all still using that, to some degree.
Thanks for stopping by.
