Shoutouts:

Walt Ritscher has two Design reflections up: Reflecting on Design #7... dang hate to admit I remember ASCII art on wide-carriage green-bar paper:) Walt's second: Reflecting on Design #8 was just cool enough until he showed the anamorphic illusion view -- wow!

I saw this on a couple other blogs, but Walt has some good info up about it: Win $5000 for best Silverlight Game... I should have been paying more attention to Joel, Jeff, Bill, and Andy's blogs:)

The Swiss MSDN Team blog has a New impressive Line of Business applications done with Silverlight... check them out... I have to agree, that last one is awesome.
