Frank Arrigo, the guy who runs Microsoft’s Developer Platform Evangelism team in Australia, a 16 year veteran of Microsoft, joins me tonight to publicly break his big news – he’s moving to Seattle to direct Microsoft’s DPE field strategy worldwide.
The quality of the Skype call is terrible so we don’t talk long, but we manage to chat a bit about Microsoft’s enormous drop in enterprise developer support for Windows in the last year (according to this report), what some of the reasons for it might be and what they need to do to stop the desertion. We also talk about the lack of support for kids with Asperger’s Syndrome in Sydney (two of Frank’s sons have it) and the great support in Seattle. And I finally bet Frank $50 and an iPhone that 50% of his team in Australia will quit in the next year after he leaves….
Check out this video of Frank doing his best attempt at Shakespeare:

Wendell Wallach is a lecturer and consultant at Yale University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics where he chairs the working research group on Technology and Ethics, leads a seminar for bioethics interns, and functions as a senior coordinator for other working groups and projects. He has lectured worldwide, published many articles, and is presently writing two books. Cybersoul explores the ways in which cognitive science and the Information Age are altering our understanding of human decision-making and ethics. Machine Morality: From Aristotle to Asimov and Beyond, which Wendell is co-authoring and which will be published by MIT Press, explores the prospects for designing computer systems capable of making moral decisions. Wendell is recognized as one of the leaders in the new field of Machine Ethics, and designed the first course anywhere on this subject, which he has taught twice at Yale.
Wendell is one of the speakers at the upcoming Singularity Summit.

Thanks to Daniel Bowen for scanning it and for CathyE to mentioning I was in it! There’s another benefit of Twitter! Oh and thanks to whomever it was at MX who gave me the plug. You know you’ve made it when you’re in MX. All those people riding home on trains, looking for the latest news on Paris Hilton… I’m sure I’ll convert all of them to the goodness of G’Day World. Pretty awesome to be on the same page as the Nick Cave and Xzibit!
