Say what now? There is a new way of interacting with computers, and I have to RTFM?

One who is gone. Native American, actor, activist, my grandpa look-alike, icon, man I respected and looked up to all my life. He died this week and his ashes were spread on the Rez.
This image (spitting one for grandpa Leo) is from NNN.
My confolences to his family, friends, and worldwide fans.
If you read this blog, you know about the TechNet Wiki I helped start a while ago. The wiki represents many kinds of awesome. The best of which is the people who care enough about technology, and the wiki, to contribute content. The wiki has been nominated for an internal Microsoft Engineering Excellence Award.
More than 3,000 of you have contributed around 12,000 pages of technical content that get about a million page views per month.
Congrats!
You may also be aware of new apps that are built on top of Microsoft content, such as server posterpedia and server news. Well, now the community has built a Windows 8 app on top of the wiki.
