Hang onto your socks... Pencho Popadiyn went over the top with this Analog clock.... wow... check it out... lots of explanation, big ol' long tutorial and all the source... dang... how can you beat that??

Dan Wahlin covered just a whole bunch of stuff in his ASP.NET Connections Talks: Silverlight, Animation, LINQ, Farseer Physics, Silverlight.FX... and this post has all the code and materials!

Changing Styles using ImplicitStyleManager-2

Lee discusses the ImplicitStyleManager and changing styles on TabControl and DataGrid... but he admits there are some issues and describes how to get them... maybe you can be the one to explain!

Limitations of Windowless mode for Silverlight

Karl Erickson of the Silverlight SDK posted this article about limitations of Windowless Mode. Some commentors raise some interesting points, but all good information.

Laurent Bugnion sent me this link yesterday to a Podcast I wasn't familiar with: Wireside Chat... I'm going to be watching them now, but in this episode they interview Laurent and talk about his new book and various other things in his vast knowledge area!

Manish Dalal took it upon himself to deal with the clipboard and text only, but he's got copy and paste from Silverlight to Excel and back and between FF and IE... yikes... check it out!

Just about anything anyone that reads this blog would be interested is covered in the 'Continuum' that Adam Kinney is talking about in this post... I'm going to check it out at Channel 9 tonight.

Stay in the 'Light!
