Zach Urlocker (zachu_rss) mentioned a few blogs recently in an internal memo. I was listed. Whee :) So was Reggie Burnett, who is responsible for Connector/Net. I've been playing with C# recently, and I'd like to get familiar with Connector/Net (or C/Net). So I subscribed to his blog. I've added an rss feed to LiveJournal: reggie_mysql.

Reggie, I'll be reading up on it :)
