What's Dave been up to?

Several folks have commented, noting my lack of postings. Others have posted asking me for a view of a "day in the life" of zune right now, and pictures of my workspace.

The answers to these are all related....

We're insanely busy right now. Lots of key decisions being made as we speak. Plus, I've inherited a "team" on Zune that didn't have anyone on it so I've been simultaniously doing what I can of three jobs and hiring into two open heads.

Those decisions are, of course, secret...so I can't really share a day in the life beyond something like this agenda for today:

7:00-9:00 Home taking care of 4 year old with the flu
9:30-10:00 secret meeting
10-11 highly confidential meeting
11:30-1:00 pm out to lunch with finance team, can't say what we talked about
1:00-2:00 Meeting to discuss something I can't mention
2:00-4:00 Meet external vendor who's doing work that I can't discuss
4:00-5:30 Meet with team I can't talk about to plan an offering I can't mention

Not very useful.

There are some other more discussable things...

• NPD data came out - did initial analysis of what's up in the mp3 player, accessories, and AppleTV markets.
• Finished GRAW2 on my xbox - good fun
• Started Crackdown
• Finalizing Car purchase choice...ordering it
• Caring for pitifully sick kids
• Trying vainly to get back into the spring bicycling workout routine

So, that's the news update. I'll post some thoughts on recent news in the industry sometime soon...
