A quick update...
I wanted to note, while I'm thinking about it, that accessing the Amazon.com Web Services from ASP.NET is surprisingly easy. The only tricky part I found was dealing with the built-in limitation of 10 results per request.

Time to get started...
So here I am trying to multi-task. I'm working on getting this blog set up (thanks to Scott W. for the great work on creating a rich ASP.NET blog tool!), while also working on a quick demo app for connecting to the Amazon.com Web Services through ASP.NET.
