• Charlie Kindel announced that he’s leaving the Alexa project, and Amazon.

    Many of you will remember Kindel as the driving intelligence behind Windows Home Server — a product I loved and used constantly for many years. Even wrote a book about it.

    When he left Microsoft in 2011, he was a GM on the Windows Phone project. Two years later, he landed at Amazon, and the company’s never been the same.

    There’s an announcement on his personal blog that explains:

    I will clean my home office which is a freaking mess and work on car projects. I am hiring a CEDIA-level installer to completely refit my home automation system and I will project manage that. I hope to enjoy the awesome summer we’re about to have in Seattle with my family (both of my adult kids will be living in the Seattle area starting this summer). Professionally, I don’t know what’s next.

    If you didn’t know, his car restoration projects are legendary.

    Can’t wait to see what he does next. I’m sure it’ll be remarkable.
