Welcome stranger, sit down by the fire and let us hear the epic deeds, the tales of joy, of woe and of note that occurred these past seven days.

Days and Weeks pass by in a blur, wake up at 5, work on quiz4couples, cuddle with Malin, breakfast, go to work, gym, more work, home, dinner, Malin, sleep and restart! I find myself spending most of my free time working on quiz4couples and I am having a hard time to find any time to blog at all! But fear not, I think that as soon as I finish quiz4couples I will spend a couple of weeks writing blog posts about my experiences on that, that will surely be interesting :).

Here are the most interesting stuff I consumed last week:

Epic News

• Windows 8, Microsoft Surface and Windows Phone 8 are coming! (Oct 26th for W8/Surface and Oct 28th for WP8)
• New updates for Windows Azure Mobile Services now with support for iOS apps, Facebook/Twitter/Google identity, Emails, SMS, Blobs, Service Bus and more.

Epic Articles

• Great interview with Jeff Atwood where he talks about his passion for programming, StackOverflow, usability and building a community.

Epic Podcasts

• Michele Leroux Bustamante talks about running a startup on Azure at .NET Rocks
• Web Performance Panel at DevReach on .NET Rocks
• I discovered that the crowd from .NET Rocks are also running a new show The Tablet Show where they talk about mobile and tablet development on all platforms!

Epic Courses

• Building HTML5 and JavaScript Apps with MVVM and Knockout : @John_Papa takes us through the nitty gritty of building MVVM web apps with knockout.js. Awesome job from @StevenSanderson and all contributors, it feels almost like writing XAML and C# XDD

And that’s all for today! Have a nice one!
