From:

Wow... file this in the HolyCrap category... check out the dial control Phil Middlemiss built... dang that looks good!

Al Pascual had a problem with Silverlight and MEF loading XAP files, and blogged about it. By the time I saw the post, he has an update with the solution... could help others!

Based on his experience, Joost van Schaik attacked his first WP7 app as building a generic map viewer from scratch... the screenshots look pretty cool.. check out the code... oh, and he's using Laurent's MVVM Light

Timmy Kokke demonstrates how to store global data in Blend extensions using Blend itself to do so... with all the code

We've all seen the videos of the WP7 lifecycle... how many of us have tried to do a timer/stopwatch... check this out by Tau Sick from the user's standpoint it's doing what she thinks it is!

Looks like I missed David Rousset's tutorial from last Saturday... the part 2 of his XNA on WP7 tutorial series... all the code is available, and if you see I miss something, kick my tires about it!

Dinesh Sodani continues on working with BingMaps and now is showing how to add a pushpin to a map.

Einar Ingebrigtsen has a training video up to give you a jumpstart into Balder. He's also

Ben Gracewood has a post up about the WebBrowser Control in WP7 and associating the theming and styling with the user's WP7 selection.

Kunal Chowdhury has part 2 of his tutorial series on the PathListBox... now he's animating on the path... good stuff, Kunal.

Fresh on the heels of Araknoid, Dimitris - Ilias Gkanatsios has Bubble Breaker for WP7 up on his blog now... go get the source, I'll still be here:)

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
