Thursday the 13th Cream :) Delay on SL2 controls, Andy Beaulieu on Collision Detection, Zhiming Xue gives a good link set for DeepZoom, IRhetoric shows us a great SL1 mashup app, Jose Fajardo gives us a SL2 Control Reference chart, and Ashish Shetty is back discussing URI references.

From SilverlightCream.com:
Three wacky uses for Silverlight 2's ListBox and ScrollViewer!

Silverlight Control Hierarchy
Jose Fajardo doesn't sleep... I don't know that because I haven't met him, but dang, when does he find time for all this fun?? He has a SL2 control Hierarchy diagram that he says he will keep updated... I've added it to my SL Links section on the sidebar just for reference. Wonder if we'll ever need DeepZoom to view it :) ... thanks Jose!
