Falling in the 'oh crap' category... Sara Ford has announced: Did you know that today’s tip on msinfo32.exe ends the series? -#382 ... your tips will be missed, Sara... lots of good info came that way!

From SilverlightCream.com:

Fluent Animations in Silverlight: Nikhil Kothari has a post up about composite animations built in code on top of Nikhil's Silverlight.FX framework. Nikhil discusses a post by Daniel, and then continues on about the fluent API and View Model patterns... all good reading!
Silverlight and the View-ViewModel Pattern: David Wynne has posted a simple example of View-View Model pattern in Silverlight that he thought we all may be interested in.. what better way to learn than with having code to run :)
Run time is design time for AGT [2]: This is Damon Payne's 3rd post in his series. This one is on Service Wire-up, Presenters, and Events.
Microsoft Expression Studio available at 50%: Laurent Bugnion had the first post I'd seen on this. He references Chris Koenig, and if you don't have another way to get the Expression Suite, 50% off is a smoking deal!
Quick Way to Make Real 3D Image Flipping Effect: This time Terence Tsang is completely into Kit3D and is no longer calling his code beta. This is a very nice-looking image rotation... so if you're looking for one, check out his code.
Silverlight 2 DataGrid December 2008 Release: Scott Morrison talks about the DataGrid and the new release they've done to resolve some problems. He has a list of breaking changes and installation instructions as well. He also has a link to a Post by Brian Braeckel on the forum.
Updated Silverlight 2 DataGrid Available: John Papa also has a post up about the new DataGrid code.
Silverlight Debugging with WinDbg and SOS: Ning Zhang follows his debugging with Visual Studio post with this one on WinDbg and SOS ... I'm not familiar with SOS (yet), but wow... WinDbg... I lived in that in my win32 past!
Bubbles – 1 Chart – three Axes: Jesse Liberty followed up his Bubbles post with this one that has a third axis thrown in... this is very cool, and falls into an area I've been kicking around... building something like this for a Tag Cloud.
Sample app: Lee takes a shot at doing a LOB app with no code behind... using the MV* patterns... interesting to read...
