Making the single box and multiple box disappear
I don't keep up with all the latest trends, breakthroughs and buzz in every corner of the industry. Wish I could! I've been a fan of Virtual PCs for quite awhile. While they have their pain points they allow one to have a complete environment separate from the physical PC it runs on. Virtual Server does the same for Servers (and you can run Virtual Server on a PC for those really complex environments from your client.) Microsoft and VMware are the two leaders that I am aware of.

California lab claims step toward developing valuable stem cells

.NET Framework Library Source Code is now available
Scott Guthrie announced the release of the .NET Framework Source Code! Scott Hanselman has an excellent post on how to step through the Framework source as well as a caveat on 64-bit installation. Another other fantastic source on how to actually step into the Framework code is Shawn Burke's blog on configuring Visual Studio for Debug. You will need the Visual Studio 2008 QFE for this.

English 101
It's been a few, hmmmm, decades since I took an English writing course. In my job I've done tons of technical writing and that is still very strong. However, I am quite rusty at writing the standard English paper. So, to help me knock off the rust I am starting to do book reviews. To keep it interesting, for me at least, I'll be reviewing books of a technical nature as well as leadership and relationship books. I may eventually bite off some fiction and other "light" reading.

New job
I am close to finishing my first week at a new place. I've hired in full-time to take on a team management role which includes classic ASP as well as ASP.NET (2003, 2005 & 2008). From what I understand so far we need to finish stabilizing the classic ASP app while we roll the app into a .NET application. The app was acquired when the company I work for bought a local company and brought them "into the fold". :)

Wii + Virtual Reality...
This is a really slick trick to add a new dimension to gaming - and other applications!
Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.

Testing Live Writer
I wanted to test out how easy it might be to add photos, like this Christmas house.
