Came across this cool XBAP by Denis Dolfus:

Saw the news on Ian’s blog. Microsoft launched their Duet partners page. Check it out…

The Duet applications are built using metadata definitions that are interpreted during runtime and drive the different application’s workflow and UI.
How is Duet’s metadata defined and used? What are the advantages of this model?

There are only a few active Duet bloggers out there but it seems that I’m the only one blogging from the dev team.
Sadly, so far I haven’t taken advantage of that to write some cool posts about the technology behind Duet.

Although it has been practically dead for a long time, I’ve recently decided to resurect my open-source C# math library.
Up until yesterday, the project’s home at Codeplex only contained the last release’s (1.1.3) source and binaries which I developed long time ago on .NET 1.1.

It’s a big-ass table! 🙂

Josh Smith ahs written a nuch of very comprehensive overview posts on WPF topics:

• Overview of routed events in WPF
• Overview of dependency properties in WPF
• Overview of attached properties in WPF
• A five-mile overview of WPF

Just came across this new WPF\Silverlight site – nibbles: snack tutorials for hungry designers.
As described on the site:

Software Patents is a controvertial subjects. It has been the subject of an intense debate on the past few decades, so intense that it even has its own wikipedia page.
One of the main problems with the current patent system is that it is way to easy to file patents on obvious ideas (such as the famouse VB “Is Not” operator or Eolas’s patent on emmbeding objects in html) which then get approved by the patent examiners who are overworked and do not have the resources to validate all the motions.

Paul Graham, founder of Y-Combinator, declares Microsoft is dead (also translated to Hebrew at Ynet)
While this is certainly an eye-catching, buzz-creating headline, but it seems there isn’t much behind it.
