VSTO talk in Quebec City
Yesterday, I talked about VSTO at the Quebec City .NET user group for MSDN Canada. It was a fun talk to prepare. I'm impressed about the integration of VSTO 2005 with Visual Studio 2005. The coolest thing is how easy it is to place controls and user controls in the ActionsPane.

1 x 19" CRT vs 2 x 17" LCD
Just switched from a 19" CRT monitor to a dual desktop consisting of two 17" LCD monitors. I was surprised how well the drivers are integrated and how easy it is to set and configure two monitors. Of course, I bought a video card with dual VGA outputs so it's a lot easier to set. I just LOVE the real estate!
