From SilverlightCream.com:
Basic customizations of the DataGrid
Martin Mihaylov has a great article up about customizations that can be done to the DataGrid ... this is a continuation of a series he has started focusing on the datagrid ... good stuff, Martin!
Silverlight Opportunity: Challenging the game concept model (Spore)
Bart Czernicki has an interesting artile on the game concept model in general. If you're interested in SL and Gaming, this would be a good read.
The Silverlight game list on Mashooo.com crosses the 50 game mark and changes format
James Bacon reports that Silverlight Girl has updated her Mashooo.comsite ... and I'll say! ... This is almost the XAP Wall that Tim Heuer was asking about the other day... very cool!
Number to Text presentation using Silverlight
Joseph Ghassan has an example of converting a number to text and displaying in Silverlight ... interesting idea :)
Farseer, Far-Easier: Physics Helper for Blend and Silverlight
Andy Beaulieu has an Alpha version of what he's calling "Physics Helper" out to give the rest of us mere mortals access to the Farseer Physics code that he and Bill Reiss and others are so comfortable with.
How to: Make Innerglows with Expression Blend
Scott Barnes walks us carefully through creating an Inner Glow effect in Expression Blend... very nice, Scott!
Silverlight Tip of the Day #40: 1.05 != 1.05 - Peril with Floating Point Comparisons.
Mike Snow gives us a big caution and example of floating point comparison issues.
Silverlight vs Flash: Kaleidoscope
Terence Tsang tackled the Kaleidoscope this time out ... runs very smoothly to my eyes...
Throwing Together An Application
Jesse Liberty walks through the construction of a simple stopwatch application. One of the cooler parts of this is, the app is for the Mac... so he built it in Silverlight ... :)

Stay in the 'Light!

I just wanted to mention that the innerglow tip won't work with Silverlight. Bitmap effects in XAML aren't supported by Silverlight 2. If you try to follow Scott Barnes' steps in Blend with a new Silverlight 2 project you'll get stuck in the second step.

Lets hope that this type of functionality makes it into a future version of Silverlight!
