  1. @jblankenburg I have really liked BlogEngine.NET - easy setup, easy plug-ins/widgets, ASP.NET, LiveWriter / MetaWeblog support, easy 2 skin
  2. @jerrya72 Great, just spent the week at the Cherry Festival and would love to return - let me know when you have a schedule going
  3. @cwoodruff Ed was/is a great guy with the User Group and projects - so funny to see he's on a reality show (and winning)
  4. @cwoodruff Just got back from Traverse City and would be glad to head up there and give the Silverlight 2/3 or Soft Skills Learning talks.
  5. @benfulton mmm jellybeans :-) My challenge is doing an Agile "fixed bid" while explaining that means delivered features/stories may change.
  6. Re-reading "Software Estimation - Demystifying the Black Art" - trying to explain the "Cone of Uncertainty" to Sales, PM and customer folk.
  7. Wow, thanks @jordanshane @billreiss @timwingfield @benhyrman @lazycoder for Flash Drive tips - Costco's the winner on price and speed to use
  8. Anyone seen a current deal on USB flash drives (2Gb+)? I need a handful with no real budget
  9. Anyone ever built a game of Kubb? http://bit.ly/1L4kWq - Seems like I'd just need a 6' 4x4 and a 6' dowel rod (and a handful of saw cuts).
  10. @ekulmi Silverlight scrolling text is pretty easy. Put text into a control (e.g. TextBlock) change its "x" value in code or storyboard anim
  11. Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 R2 is now available on MSDN - new simulations, sensors, and handy log analyzer http://bit.ly/ZVKWU
  12. Half way into "Game Programming with Silverlight" by Michael Snow, and am so far underwhelmed. Seems rushed to market and code unavailable.
  13. RT Good News @telerikbuzz: RadControls for Silverlight 3 now compatible with official SL3 RTW http://bit.ly/3V1EER #silverlight3 #telerik
  14. Vacation Insight #2: Time is the most precious resource - time spent in community multiplies this resource. Budget time as if it was gold.
  15. LEGO Mindstorms NXT "Black Brick" on sale at Amazon for $129 http://bit.ly/ovT4S - considering used NXTs are $90+ on eBay, good price.
  16. @WPC09 Yes I like Creole food
  17. And yes the "demo gods" are in full force at #WPC09 :-) - been there, done that - feel sorry for him http://bit.ly/gCD6F (live)
  18. User testimonial on Win7 says not doing"traditional" wait for SP1 for a new OS this time - makes sense, Win7 is basically Vista SP2 #WPC09
  19. Win7 will have an included XP license for using "Seamless XP" for running older software (maybe not all versions of Win7?)
  20. Thought I lost the stream for the #WPC09 keynote/session when it sounded like static, but it ended up being some surfer dude on a wave ???
