miniclip.com now has a silverlight 1.0 puzzle game to their catalog. this is pretty good to see among the massive catalog of casual games they offer. this game is built using silverlight 1.0 and is a good use of a lot of the capabilities (and in some cases maxing them out) for the 1.0 platform.

the leaders of the arizona .net user group have convinced scott guthrie that phoenix is nice in march (and it is...spring training baby!) and he should visit. they've organized a super user group meeting and you can find information on when/where here. it will be hosted at scottsdale center for the arts, which is a pretty killer facility. i'd recommend carpooling and not messing with the no parking signs (those scottsdale folks like to watch those meters).
having ScottGu come to phoenix immediately after MIX08 is a great thing for the community. if you couldn't make it to MIX, you'll be...
this week at devconnections a few of my comrades were there and started to spread the word about our planning on something we are doing in the western united states. we're calling it 'the code trip' and the plan is simple, get us (the developer evangelists who interact with our community groups) out hitting the streets and talking code. we're in planning stages right now for sure, and brewing up some things for our stops. we want our communities to participate in that planning. have a good idea? let us know. want to ride on the RV for a leg? ...

i've been trying to learn more and more about wpf/e and the current functionality in the february ctp, so i decided to jump on the create-a-video-player-skin bandwagon and mock something up. i thought it would be quite the incredible thing (read: couldn't think of a better idea) to show a zune player...so whoala: and when you click 'start player' (yes i know it would be cool to show the player as a playlist and use the normal zune buttons, but c'mon, v.0.0.3 here...work with me people) it rotates to show you the video (if you don't own a zune,...
thanks to all who attended my learn2asp.net session on creating mash-ups with php on windows and using microsoft web api's. whew, that was a mouthful. anyway, i said i'd post the sample code i used, so here it is (at the end of this post). in the zip file there is an index.php file describing the APIs used. I stripped out my personal application id's from some of the services, so you'll have to obtain your own. there are plenty of other sessions going on the learn2asp.net site so i'd encourage you to take a look at them and register. ...

some interesting posting going on over at john c. bland ii site.
john is a great guy who is well versed in the adobe realm of things (digging flex right now) and attended our mix conference and (i think) actually walked away with an appreciation (and changed perception) of what we are doing on some of the user experience areas.
