Analysis Paralysis
The triple-threat of folks like

doing server controls to WPF/E or binding WPF/E output to data, the work being done by
Chad Campbell
(no relation), and the stunning video player UI done by
Mike Harsh
, blogged about below, led to me being silent for a while.
It's not that I thought I had to step up and 'compete', but with more and better WPF/E being shared around, I kept coming up with more and more elaborate ideas that ate up a lot of what I call spare time.
I took a walk around the building at lunch in an attempt to resolve a problem in my head when an interrupt request fired that had been set a couple weeks ago :)
I've mentioned the 'charter' I've set before myself with WPF/E, and that is to dig into the basics. If that also involves some fun apps along the way, that's fine, but my whole reason for blogging WPF/E at the exception of other things is just that... to blog WPF/E. So while I have an idea for an app that would be very cool if I could read/write/update to SQL, solving those database-connectivity issues while blogging about WPF/E isn't really the point.
I'd rather dig in and discuss the the fun parts of the new technology than explain how I connected to an SQL database using AJAX, because everyone that wants to do that has done so. At some point I need to learn that, for me, but not for WPF/E.
So... now that I've stifled the paralysis, look for a WPF/E article on pushbuttons in general in the next few days. The one after that will be cool, but I'm not going to talk about it yet :)

yeah did all that, and even talked to an XNA MVP on the forum about it. If your gfx card can't push it, you're out of luck
