The Future of Microsoft Flight Simulator 

Is in the cards!

Wandering the Aces halls this morning to see who else made it in through our greater-Puget Sound area "blizzard," I couldn't resist snapping this stealthy phone-cam pic of one of our conference rooms. What you can (barely) see in the background is part of an in-progress "card sorting exercise," something we use from time to time as way to capture and loosely organize a brainstorming session. Obviously, I can't offer any details at this point (I do actually like this job quite a bit) but I can say there are some exciting ideas tacked on to those walls. It's nice to point to some supporting evidence to back up one of our most-used trade show responses: "We haven't announced anything around our future plans, but it's safe to say that we're 'always' working on the next version. Or two."

It may seem funny to be using something as decidedly analog as index cards at a place like this, but, hey, if it was good enough for Babbage (and Jacquard and Hollerith), it's good enough for me!
