Michael Washington is really digging into SketchFlow ... in this post he gives instructions for building a Moveable Draggable Window in SketchFlow
Silverlight 3.0 LetItSnowBehavior
Just in time for those August Doldrums (in Phoenix Arizona anyway), Fons Sonnemans produced a great 'Snow' Behavior I want to use this on everything until the weather cools off here :)

Business Apps Example for Silverlight 3 RTM and .NET RIA Services July Update: Part 22: Separate Solution Files
Thank Goodness Brad Abrams only posted once while I was gone... I was concerned he blasted out one a day of these :) In this one he responds to a query from Shawn Wildermuth and describes how to build separate solutions for the client and server... and yes I know I'm still one behind :)
Fluid Dynamics in Silverlight
File this one in the Holy Crap category ... I was just seeing a black rectangle and hadn't read the article yet, but once I moved the mouse across the app I got stuck there for some minutes just playing. Rick Barraza produced a very cool effect with all this and has great links out to resources if you really want to dig this deep into it. Otherwise just bring it up and play :)
How to index your Silverlight application in search engine
Terence Tsang is setting off on an adventure of creating a new site that provides SEO goodness and is inviting us all along. This first post is the lead-in to the forthcoming articles.
Fault support in Silverlight 3
I found this by way of the Silverlight Web Services Team blog, and is a post by Carlos Figueira that shows how adding 1 line of code will allow the Silverlight 3 app to receive faults without a bunch of cumbersome code.
Navigation Transitions with WriteableBitmap
Joel Neubeck's page transition involves capturing the pages and animating the images he produces with WriteableBitmap ... dang... where do these guys get these ideas :) ... looks great, Joel!
PlaneProjection for 3D effects. Part III : carousels
Wow... check out the carousels Gerard Leblanc has done this time... I like the speed and direction control on the second and the last one is just very clean-looking... great stuff!
Adding a Rotating Button to the Swivel Behavior Demo
John Papa added onto his swivel from last week and has a button that not only initiates it but spins around with the panel -- and yes it spins back the other way when it returns... pretty cool :)
From DB to DataGrid – So Many Choices!
Jesse Liberty discusses the various methods available to retrieve our data and get it into our app. He quickly settles on 3 and discusses 2 pushing Entity Frameworks to another post of it's own.
