Another year, another 99 cans of Cherry Coke

My name is Beau Hollis.  I’m a grad student at the University of Florida, and as of today, I’m 23 years old.  I’m a Program Manager Intern for Windows Live Search.  I help define the user experience for the Windows Live Search page.  I really love my job and my team, and of course, all the great friends I have made out here.  Speaking of my friends, they all collaborated to create the ultimate birthday office for me.

 

They didn’t want me to do any work on birthday, so they unplugged my computer and its many peripherals and wrapped them in foil along with pretty much everything else in my office.  The soda cans I did to myself (thanks Microsoft for free soda) but  the Dixie-cups full of diluted Cherry Coke were part of the “upgrade.”  

 

Special thanks to all the masterminds behind this makeover:  Ajay, Francisco, Maggie,  Dena, Jaidev, Michel, and Maribel.  You guys are great.

 

Beau

who said that MSN doesn't convert - although I guess he still as to search for his keyboard.  Doesn't look like it made it to tye 1st page result.

This is the only important thing MSN Search Blog has to for the first 13teen days of July?  Really why bother. Just close down and let Google, Yahoo and Ask run the search bussiness.
  Funny yes but how about some real news about MSN Search.

Wow, all of you mockers sound like you work so hard. Lighten up! How is it that you find the time to read people's blogs and post self-righteous rubbish.

Enjoy your Happy Birthday. It seems that these people need some office pals like yours' to think of them on their birthdays.

i think that ninemsn and msnbc or whatever it is called (nbc network site)should be renamed to Nine Live and NBC Live and they should look cool (cooler than apple stuff) and have a few more functions.
