• Microsoft Surface vs. Homebrew Multitouch

  It’s rare that I opine on my blog, but since we’ve recently been able to talk openly about our involvement with Microsoft Surface, I’ve been feeling like it’s worth discussing this much-maligned creature. People seem to treat it a bit like Michael Jackson — a reclusive enigma, rarely seen in the wild, impossible to capture [...] Read More...

• Fixing the rare Yugma “client.properties” error on Vista

  I’m a fairly committed Yugma user for conferencing, screensharing and remote desktop control (it works really well around firewalls), but my recent upgrade to Vista had rendered the app unstartable.

• Silverlight Link Roundup

  Back from a 2 week hiatus in Nicaragua and I’m feeling refreshed and rejuvenated (and only a touch rum-soaked ) Some cool Silverlight demos and meta-sites I’ve stumbled upon since my return: Chris Craft is compiling a very comprehensive list Read More...

• MIXdown

  2007 was the sophomore effort for Microsoft’s MIX conference, and I must say, the sequel was better than the original. I spoke at MIX last year, when things like WPF and the Expression Suite were still in their infancy, and I think the audience Read More...

• You can’t handle the truth (or at least we won’t let you try)

  Our heater is on the fritz in our building, and we’ve been going back and forth with our landlord on the issue. Frustrated with a lack of response, we authored a letter to the landlord stating our intent to take matters to the next level, and wanted Read More...
