Near the end of any year every magazine, newspaper, and website come outs with their own top ten list for something. Some even one-up each other by having top 100 lists.

While I was at PDC this fall I sat down with Mehul Harry from DevExpress to talk about Azure, Cloud Computing, and of course soft skillz. The interview is only a few minutes long, I hope you like it. Thanks to Mehul for having me on the show. http://tv.devexpress.com/PDC09BrianPrince.movie
