Silverlight Cream for April 3, 2008 -- #243

John Stockton on a small animation secured inline on a page of text, Martijn Croezen & Rob Houweling have a very nice Texture mapping applcation up, Andy Nogueira has a Silverlight Wrapper Web Part, Michael Sync helps resolve a Silverlight error, Jesse Liberty with Videos on Event Handling, Delay updates ConvertClipboardRTFToolToHTML, Shawn Wildermuth aggregates some SL2 bugs, Pete Brown on XAML Drop-Shadows, and Jaime Rodriguez with an awesome DeepZoom Primer.


I didn't want to make a huge deal out of it because it's me, but I do want to support my friends... so it is with mixed feelings I blog the fact that Erik and Monica Mork at Sparkling Client - The Silverlight Podcast has posted their 8th Podcast and this one is from an interview Erik did of me sitting near the end of the main floor at MIX. I have to admit, I'm very impressed with the work Erik and Monica do... they actually were able to make me sound reasonably intelligent, and for that I'm grateful:)... Thanks to both of you!
