Hopefully the last one for a while…explanation coming soon.

The demand is outrageous!  I only have like 80 left!  (Okay, so I only started with 100 and I gave some to my kids before I left…but still).  Don’t forget to get yours…they actually turned out to be really cool!

I love this guy.  The topic is poignant and the delivery is superb.  After you spend 20 unforgettable minutes with the message, get tips for delivery Sir Ken Robinson-style.  My favorite nugget of wisdom: "Prepare, but don’t rehearse."  Finally, someone is telling me not to rehearse.  I couldn’t agree more, Sir Ken Robinson!

I just CafePressed up a whole bunch of minibuttons to give away at MIX to the various Friends of Kaxaml that I may encounter.  For some reason, I’ve never kept stats on the number of downloads I’ve had, so I really don’t know how many of you there are.  Hopefully enough that I don’t end [...]

Some events are just better than others.  This one was top-notch and I can unequivocally say I thought it was better than last year. And I loved last year.  It started right.  I think everyone was blown away by the CLR integration in Silverlight and the fantastic first-day keynote where that was announced set a tone for [...]

Last week I had a really cool opportunity.  The organizers of VSLive San Francisco invited IdentityMine to present their third day keynote.  We said yes, of course, and I ended up being the lucky guy on stage.  I’ve had a number of opportunities to talk to people about WPF, but usually at a technical level [...]
