With your help, I've just put up a new article on the essential
tools every client developer should have in their toolbox. If
there's a tool (not a library/framework - that'll come next) that
you use during your client development, please go ahead and comment
on the article and let me know.

I code for fun. When I was quite a bit younger, it was pretty early in the era of personal computers, pre-PC revolution. I’ve been pretty clear about how much I loved my Commodore, so I won’t drone on and on about that here (you may breathe a sigh of relief now, but this post reads well with the theme from M.U.L.E. or better yet, a remix of Outrun playing on your headset).

Like most people, at the end of the year, I look back and assess how things went, what I could do better, and what I want to do in the next year.

I’ve been an early adopter of things like Silverlight, Expression Blend/De...

My annual review is coming up. This is the time when you’re encouraged to reflect on what you’ve done over the past year, and what you want to be when you grow up.

When I got back to my house from the Silverlight 2.0 TAP event in Redmond last week, it was about 4:00 am (love those airline delays). I dumped most of my stuff in a pile, and went to bed. The next day, I remember asking for my jacket to be washed as it picked up a lot of airplane cooties <g> I used the Zune on all four flights (connections each way) and really enjoyed it. I was...
