Despite being the only TechCrunch writer in Seattle, I don't get out to Microsoft nearly as much as one might expect. The fact is it's on the other side of a big lake and getting there usually involves a lot of traffic. But when I get an invite like I did recently, to join a sort of unofficial Surface developers' club for a meeting, it's hard to say no. The promise of free pizza had nothing to do with my enthusiasm. I like the Surface.So it was that I got to join a group of developers from all around Microsoft as they spitballed ideas, compared new projects, and developed a new feature as I watched. They didn't initiate me into the mysteries of the device or swear me to secrecy regarding plans of world domination, but I got to see some cool new Surface apps and contribute to the development of a new feature. Also, they had Alaskan Amber.
