XAML Style WIKI needed

Hey Microsoft!  How about creating a wiki for XAML Styles?  Anyone have some space? Mr. Sells?

If you're interested in XAML, subscribe to Nathan's blog.  The Flipping CD Button example is great, and the new release of AvPad is fantastic!

March Avalon CTP and AvPad

If for some strange reason you read neither Chris Sells or Chris Anderson's blog and lust after new Avalon info, check out the latest CTP of Avalon.  Here's a MSDN brief you'll want to read first! And Chris Anderson (aka Simplegeek) has released a new version of XamlPad and it's now called AvPad.  I find it's the best way to get your hands dirty with XAML.  With some nice new features like the visual tree.

 

Moleskine Ruler Hack

One day I found myself needing a ruler and I'm not in the habit of carrying such an item.  I do carry my Moleskine.  So with a ruler at home, a pen and a blank page I created both a standard and metric ruler.  Below is the first pass.

Your Fortune Here

Where I work we love to eat Chinese food, hence we end up with lots of fortune cookies.  I like to save them and my Moleskine gives me a great way to group and save them.  I've dedicated a page in the back of my trusty Moleskine to these words.  Here's a pick.

Cool stuff

I came across this site the other week and entered in their contest for a tiki monster shot glass. And I actually won. Take a look around they've got some great designs. http://www.munktiki.com/shots.htm
