Tip: Easy/Reusable selection with ISelectable and SelectionManager
Denislav Savkov submitted this quick tip of a helper class, to assist in selection process. All the code plus examples on the blog!
Creating a Silverlight TagCloud UserControl
I guess it's my own fault for not doing it, but a Silverlight TagCloud has been on my ToDo list... Mark did one, and is giving up the code... very cool, Mark... and thanks :)
Silverlight 2 Beta 2 - ASMX Services & XmlSerializer
Mike Taulty demonstrates calling an asmx webservice from Silverlight 2 Beta 2... he had to play with it a bit to make it work, but hey... he tells us what he did!
Page Switching With Parameters (the short version)
Jesse Liberty describes switching pages and at the same time passign along parameters... this is the short version... the essence if you will... the real deal is on Jesse's video... good stuff, Jesse!
Programming Silverlight 2 – Jesse Liberty & Tim Heuer
Jesse Liberty and Tim Heuer have been collaborating on a book for O'Reilly... now you know both these guys... they're like the Microsoft "answer man" for Silverlight... so you just know we're all going to be sitting in lawn chairs outside O'Reilly's front door waiting when they open on the day it's released! ... or something like that :)
Silverlight 2 Samples: Dragging, docking, expanding panels (Part 1)
Martin Grayson is starting a SL series, and began with Dragging, Docking, and Expanding Panels... sounds like something that would be good to know... thanks, Martin!

Stay in the 'Light!
