Tying together Seattle transit

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Dean Betz

I couldn’t find a map that pinned both Park and Ride stops by Sound Transit and Microsoft Connect stops, so I rolled my own in BatchGeo.

Making news with Microsoft

Posted on September 1, 2012 by Dean Betz

After 27 years of working for media companies, I’m making a big change.

I’m moving next week to Seattle, where I will be managing editor of Microsoft’s news app in Windows 8, which launches in late October. It’s an exciting time to be joining Microsoft. I’ll be leading a group of editors who will curate the best reporting of the day, licensing content from news organizations and helping to develop cutting-edge news applications with a strong focus on meeting the needs of people.
