From SilverlightCream.com:

Silverlight custom fonts - How to and issues.: Alex Knight discusses adding a font to your Silverlight project and then talks about a problem with it, and Tim Heuer jumps in with a video that doesn't quite help Alex, but it's all good reading and watching!
Teitlebaum's WPF Graphic Demos, Part 1: This is not Silverlight, but it IS very cool WPF, and I've not shied away from reporting cool WPF as well. I don't chase WPF the way I do SL, but I don't ignore it when I find it... and these are very cool!
Blend Container Editing: Shawn Wildermuth learned a new editing trick while teaching a class... if it was something he just learned, I'm betting lots of folks don't know it!
Troubleshooting data/service access in Silverlight: Tim Heuer announed a webcast on troubleshooting SL and dataservices... he's also looking for input, and he's a great guy, so don't be shy!
Silverlight on Skyfire: Chris Koenig reports that Skyfire (a Windows Mobile 6 browser) now supports Silverlight ... dang... may have to invest in a new phone...
NxtGenUG Silverlight Manic Miner: I found this by way of Chris Hay... he apparently posted it while I was in the mountains and I just rolled his blog back far enough... this a vey cool game by Richard Costall and Pete McGann... you have to go take a look at it, but set a timer or something... or we'll have to go in and get you :)
