WPF Demo Application: Time-Tracking
I just got pinged from a co-worker, giving me kudos for a WPF time-tracking application I had the opportunity to design last year. This was a “demo” application for use with one of the the CRM team here at Microsoft. All designed in Blend 2, the demo has been well-received and may even be used [...]

Karsten Januszewski recently sat down and wrote a WPF application that will search the Twitter archives and allow users to save the search results as an XML file or export to Excel.
Glimmer love from the jquery blog
One of the most interesting happenings this week was the release of Glimmer. Glimmer allows you to easily create interactive elements on your web pages by harnessing the power of the jQuery library.

Designing Glimmer in WPF
Glimmer: a jQuery Interactive Design Tool is a prototype from the Mix Online Labs which makes jQuery accessible through a visual tool. The objective for Glimmer is pretty simple: to enable the power of jQuery through an interactive design surface.

REMIX08 Australia (Days 5-7)
I travelled to Melbourne and checked into my hotel the next day, after stopping by the event-site. Melbourne was much colder than Sydney, and I was a bit ill-prepared for it in the evening. I met up with the rest of the speakers and we ate.
I arrived at Town Hall in time for the keynote. [...]
