One last farewell Gift i made for my friends in Microsoft Lebanon, was providing an extra hand in the organization of the Official Launch of Visual Studio 2010 and Office 2010… 2 of my favorite Products Microsoft Ever Made!

 

 

We prepared Special Videos that were displayed before the actual film has started, and they were displayed as follows:

 

1- Introduction (i haven’t upload the Actual Edited One but this is the cool part of it )

 

2- Prince of Persia – The Game

 

3- Introduction to Sharepoint 2010 by MSDN Regional Director, Khaled Chebat

 

4- We knew some people will have little or No CLUE what sharepoint is… so we included this nice video called “Sharepoint in PLAIN ENGLISH!”

 

 

5- and off course one of my Master Pieces, the remixed version… Scratch IE

 

6- Now since /*Life runs on CODE*/… a Special video prepared by Wessam Zeidan and myself to put people in the right MOOD!!

 

 

 

7- SkechFlow (i haven’t found the actual video that was displayed on the net, so here’s another more detailed one on Expression Blend & Sketchflow)

 

 

 

8- A Nice Office 2010 Commercial called “Work Anywhere”

 

 

9- A Quick Overview by Ghassan Chahine from Microsoft Lebanon ( Btw he’s the one that replaced me :o) ) introducing the highlights of Office 2010

 

 

 

 

10- Another Nice Office 2010 Commercial called “Work Better Together”

 

 

 

11- And one Video i really Enjoyed Making… Office 2010 Overview.. by you know who (it’s split into 2 videos because of the 10 minuntes YouTube Limitation)

 

 

 

 

And Last but Not Least… the Ultimate Office 2010 Movie….

 

 

One thing to note though, that we had tried to make several versions of the DVD to be given to the Movie Theater, and we had to compromise on either the Quality of the Videos or the Crop of the HD Videos… so we had to use the HD Version so some videos were cut from each side… so definitely some of the attendees have joked about that…  but that was the best i could come put together in the small timeframe i had to prepare :o)

 

Enjoy and Don’t forget to SHARE!!

Cheers,

Back  When i was in TechEd ME, i had the change to meet one of the IT Security Superstars, and a World Wide known expert, Andy Malone, an Enterprise Security MVP from the UK. 

We both were speaking at TechEd, so we used to bumped into each others in the speakers’ area; so i had to steal him for few minutes to record few tips & tricks on IT Security;

There you go:

One of my all-times Role Models is Bill Gates! he is truly a source of inspiration that followed me since i was still a students until today and I'm positive it will keep going on and on and on…

 

I gathered some of my favorites tips for Students and i made this Small “Light Remix” of him giving some TIPS to University Students & Fresh Graduates

 

Tips for University Student & Fresh Graduates"

 

 

Tips for Teenagers

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault , so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
