In this Issue: Ian T. Lackey, Brad Abrams(2), Naughton(2, 3), Sergey Barskly, René Schulte, Jobi Joy, and Jafar Husain(2).

Shoutout:

Funny, I was a couple days away from writing Jeff Paries asking if he was ok and yesterday he popped up: We now return to our regularly scheduled program…. ... he's been updating his book... and that's great news!

If you read blogs like I do sometimes, you may miss some of the goodness on Jesse Liberty's blog yesterday/today... He is turning up the heat on the new Open Source Project with AgOpenSource Moves Forward... and don't miss the link to AgOpenSource. Then to kick it off, his VideoWiki is going to be in there: Video Wiki – Status and Overview, and also a very aggressive (IMHO) AgOpenSource Project Turing with more explanation here: Turing Project: Level 100, 300 AND 400... whew... did I miss anything Jesse ?

Gavin Wignall reports on some awesome Home made Wiimote whiteboard demos Silverlightbuzz!
