Before I take off, a couple of shoutouts that I’ve meaning to extend (does one extend a shout out?):

Barack Obama Headlines in Deep Zoom This is not only a fun and great use of Deep Zoom, but it’s also a remarkable way to step back and take in the massive impact of the image of a black president.  Regardless of politics, I haven’t met anyone who isn’t touched by that.  Great idea Vertigo.

Site update and stunning video from IdentityMine IdentityMine just updated their site and with it, a really beautiful video that highlights some of the company’s many strengths (and makes Chad look very serious).  I’ll admit it: the video made me miss working there.  Nicely done IM.

Silveright.FX This is a very nicely designed framework for creating attached behaviors in Silverlight.  As far as I know, attached behavior are more of a side effect of attached properties than a goal, but it’s the thing to watch in our XAML UI world for the next few months.  At first glance, you can miss how handy this can be, but think of it in terms of workflow and code reuse.  Great job Nikhil.
