A great place to keep up to date on what's going on at the Redmond campus is reading the weblogs at http://blogs.msdn.com, Redmond Gadgets' sister site wwwCoder.com provides a full text search on all the weblogs at blogs.msdn.com as well as other development weblogs. This is where we get much of our information about what's going on with our favorite gadgets.

One weblog to read is the Microsoft User Research blog (Andrew Nickels - Recruiting Project Manager for Microsoft User Research), and right now they're looking for help. In a previous blog post they're looking for Xbox Live users, and they provide you with a little gift for helping out. Now they're looking for folks in the Puget Sound area that subscribe to Xbox Live (they also have a Zune giveaway for these folks). In addition, to that they're also looking for new Xbox users. Be sure to check out the blog and see what's going on, maybe there is something you can do help out, and get something in the process.
