Time flies and all the sudden it's 2007. I've been more or less offline this Christmas, spending the holydays with friends and family back home in Lakselv. It's been great to take some time off to relax, play Xbox 360, eat good food and watch movies to late at night.

2006 have been a really exciting year, with some of the following highlights:

• Became an Microsoft Regional Director in February
• Attended the Microsoft Connect event in France in March
• Spoke at the MSDN Live event in Trondheim, Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger in April
• Won the Imagine Cup Nordic finals in Oslo in May
• Had a great summer holiday, with a trip to the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, and some nice weeks of fishing in Lakselv.
• Placed third in the Imagine Cup World Finals in India in August!
• Invited to TechEd Developers in Barcelona in November to talk about our Imagine Cup Experience.

I'm really looking forward to 2007. I think it's going to be a really exciting year, starting with two weeks in Reading attending the Microsoft Accelerator Program. Microsoft also got several interesting product releases coming up, and among them IIS 7.0 that I will be talking about on MSDN Live in February.
