Emil Stoychev with a Silverlight Twitter Widget, Kathy Kam on the missing WatermarkedTextBox, Adam Kinney on Tweening Equations, Mike Taulty on Dynamic DeepZoom, Tim Heuer and Joel Neueck with Open Source Media Player, Alex Knight with Photo Flip, and Piotr Puszkiewicz on SL2B2 Silverlight.js.
A couple notes I've been hanging onto... Joel Neubeck reported on his blog that he and Bill Reiss will be presenting at the XNA Gamefest, so if you're going, look them up up! chrishayuk who posted some very nice SL Encryption posts a couple days ago now has a screencast of this on his blog. And if you didn't see Jesse Liberty's webcast today, go to his blog and get signed up for the rest. He has presentations booked out into the fall! Jesse also did a very nice blog post discussing webcasts, and in general talking to us about his thoughts on the whole process and if you have some ideas, send them to him!

Silvester - A Silverlight Twitter Widget
Emil Stoychev says he's not a fan of Twitter, but he's merged Twitter and Silverlight to produce a 'widget' we can load on our sites... He even has code running on silverlightshow.net that you can link to... how cool is that?... and all the source is here, so this is a great reference on how to do all this goodness!
WatermarkedTextBox for Silverlight 2 Beta 2
Don't know what a Watermarked TextBox is? Or wonder where the one went that we were going to get? How about getting it now?... Well, Kathy Kam has all those answers... and who better to give out the code and answers than one of the team members:)
Adam Kinney has lots of links and code for tweening and one of his commentors has said he's going to produce a blog post of something similar, so hopefully we'll be able to find that as well.
Mike Taulty dives into doing dynamic DeepZoom by experimenting with allowing the MultiScaleImage control to request image tiles from an alternate source... interesting and complete code.
The result of the back-and-forth that Tim Heuer and Joel Neubeck have been doing with the Media player finally came to a conclusion with them putting the project into Codeplex... so go have at it, modify it, have fun!
Alex Knight put up a very nice Silverlight page showing both sides of a photo using a 'flip' animation... several uses of this technique come to my mind as I'm sure they have yours as well...
What's new in the Silverlight 2 Beta 2 SDK's Silverlight.js file?
Piotr Puszkiewicz continues with his in-depth study of the Silverlight control and install/presentation techniques. He goes into what is new in the B2 version as well as what's removed. Definitely worth reading and bookmarking... oh wait, I did that:)
Stay in the 'Light!
