Welcome

Welcome, the internet, to my very special blogsite. You are special too.

Thanks for visiting. In this site, I'm going to talk about stuff that interest me on a personal level: music, technology, culture, faith, sneakers, beer, gaming. Not necessarily in that order.

You know, being let go from a job is never great, but I'm hopeful that good things will come out of this. I'm hoping that the first good thing is this site.

  1. Faith in beer. Discuss.

  2. Cesar, so sorry to hear of your misfortunes. It's a crazy world out there right now. I think a lot of people in the Zune community truly love what you have done for us as Zune owners and will miss your updates. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

  4. Damn shame, Cesar.. you were a massive positive force for the Zune team, Microsoft is ill-considered in this move.

    You will be sorely missed and knowing your high-energy devotion, will come out on top of this. Enjoy your time off, I know we'll be hearing more from you in the very near future.

    Best Regards, David Batt

  6. You became a family member! Many of us have "adopted" you as a brother or cousin.
    I wish you good luck and hope that some good Zune user will make you a great job offer!

  9. Im sad to see you go. I have enjoyed your podcasts. And though you probably have no idea I am on your zune friendslist and even though we seem to share totally oppisite tastes in music I still am interested in seeing what you're listening to. I hope to hear more from you on this blog. Good luck to you and yours.

  12. OMG Cesar I was so shocked reading this today. Thank you for everything you did. I was a new zune user once and your support for the platform helped me. I listened to the podcasts, was active in the forums, and just kept learning. Being a mac user I could have given up on the zune but continued using it because it is a great device. Hard to believe with the reported losses and you gone.

  13. Hi Cesar,

    Glad I had a chance to meet you in Hollywood. I've been let go and it always seemed to be a blessing in retrospect. Ok cheers from Nate Webb.

  15. Wow, bad move on Microsoft's part. I'm a huge fan of the Zune and what it does for its community, but this really goes against that grain. You were, to some on this social, a HUGE part of that community.

    Keep up your spirits and look to a brighter future. I wish you the best and I will be following your blog on a regular basis.

    PS: Will we ever know what you had for lunch?

  17. Firing someone who has become the acknowdleged public face of a product community is... well... its a stupid thing to do. Hopefully someone else out there will recognize his talents and pick him up quickly.

  18. Ah Cesar, you will be missed. I hope the best for you and your future. I'm going to miss hearing your Zune Insider podcasts.

  20. Wow Microsoft messed up bad. Well at least on this blog you are free to talk about anything you want. Still gonna miss your Zune updates. :(

  21. I think clearly the Zune is going down the tubes with these moves. I really thought MS was going to give Apple a run for the money. Alas, not to be.

  22. I feel ya, Cesar... I lost my job just about 2 weeks ago because the parent company actually shut down my whole division. It's a shock, and it's strange; I felt out of place in the world for a week before I snapped out of it and got networking.

    And like Dan a few posts above, I'll gladly extend my network to you. Hit me up at my e-mail. Networking got me some freelance work that's paying the bills while I contemplate my next move.

    I hope you're back on track ASAP man.
