I had an opportunity to talk with the Microsoft Surface team at Mix '08, and I left the camera on so that I could share it here.

This first video shows how the Surface device talks wirelessly with cameras and cell phones, and allows you to move content from one wireless device to another without any wires.

Several of you have had an opportunity to catch the first couple of episodes of my video series that I am calling JUXtapose. I'm working on the next few videos here, and was thinking that I'd like to make some of you famous.

If you've done something cool, something innovative, something that when you built it, you thought, "Man, that's awesome!," then I'd like to get you on camera talking about it.

I want to capture your passion on film. I want to help you tell the world about your ideas. If it has a user interface, let's talk about it. If you found a way to take an action in your application from 32 to 2 clicks, perhaps you've been hiding in the shadows too long.

Call me, email me, comment on this blog. Whatever. Just remember, if nobody raises their hand, I'm going to start calling on people.

Introducing JUXtapose

So I'm sure I'll be posting these everywhere, but I want my blog to at least be the starting place.

JUXtapose is the name of my new webcast series, and it will be primarily focused on the technologies I am most passionate about. This includes user interface technologies like Silverlight and WPF, as well as more general stuff like Javascript and CSS. It will also feature interviews from notable (and soon to be notable) developers in the field that have an opinion to lend on user experience.

The name JUXtapose comes from the subtitle: Jeff on User Experience.

Please leave comments, I'd love your initial thoughts on this, as well as recommendations and volunteerism for future shows.
