First, I'll repeat the news that's all over: Microsoft has released the "final" version of Silverlight 2.0 to the world! This is a major step for .NET developers, because it means we can do really incredible things on the web without massive injections

It was rather nice. For a few minutes earlier today, I was able to experience the designer's perspective of Blend. We had a bug filed on one of our common controls' visual appearance, and a designer and a developer were pairing on cleaning it up. They

Wow, so much I probably should talk about, but I don't even know where to start. Massive amounts of networking, information, realization, and even contribution going on, and I can't unravel it at all right now. I think there's a lot of potential for transforming

Wow - it's been over thirty days since my last post. What's changed since then? First, we've put http://inkubook.com into production. I'm very proud of the work I've done and that my team has done on this one. We killed ourselves getting it done, but

SEP , my previous employer, has graciously released their Code Review Support Tool to the community under the New BSD license. It's currently up at CodePlex and is a fully functioning (version 3-5!) release. Matt and I are currently gathering ideas about

I've been bickering with one of my peers about testability vs. simplicity and extensibility vs. sufficiency, and this article came back to mind. Anybody who hasn't read it, should. Anybody who has read it should read it again. Where were you before? Where
