Shoutout:
Randi Relander posted another new game on his SilverGames site: Silver Games Checkers: 0.0.1 Released
I mentioned Silverlight.XP from Fons Sonnemans and Loek van den Ouweland when it first went live, but I thought I'd mention it again since it's starting to get some traction: Silverlight.XP
This is a little late, because I had problems posting on Friday and was gone all weekend.
