From:

With a nod to Robby Ingebretsen, Mark Tucker adds shooting particles when an item is selected... and you thought it was just going to select, huh?

Silverlight Toys has a great tutorial up not only on using PixelShaders but building your own... I know we've done this before, but hey, two sources can't be bad:)

Matthias Shapiro has a couple of great links up along with discussion of this Color Image Scale, and I'm not sure you could go wrong following the plan here... grab the png file and have fun coloring!

[Mini-Tutorial] Creating a Reusable Glossy Button in Blend

qixing has what is being called the 'Hello World' of Blend up -- building a glossy button, but for us Design-challenged ones, this is good stuff:)

Chris Klug has part 2 of his Twitter app up and in this one is lashing up a webservice to talk to the Silverlight side.

Stay in the 'Light!

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
