My 200th Post
As I blogged about earlier, the other day I sat down and cranked out 3 articles for my Builder.com column. They all had to deal with versioning, and they were all based on conversations I had on my blog. I sent Paul Alexander from Xheo.com (someone get this guy a blog already!) my article on SxS versioning and the Framework, which stemmed from a heated debate with Frans Bourma, and he replied with this single comment.

I was looking at Roy Osherove's Desktops Contest, and I have but one thing to say: I want Tony Pino's desktop. I don't care what I have to do to get it. KILLER.

Productive Evening
I just got back from another java powered evening at Starbucks. Man why am I so productive there? Must be because it's pretty distraction-free. You might go, "WTF is that guy talking about, there are tons of distractions there. Like hot girls." See, I've found this great example about how my brain works, and I'm gonna share it with you.

The Best Just Got Better
I just got an e-mail that ASPnetMenu has released a new version a few days ago. Excerpt from the e-mail I received:
Feature Highlights
This control has always been the best IMO, and I think it's really cool of them to release it as V1.1, meaning it's free for all existing users. I would HIGHLY recommend you get started on it today. While you're at it, you should be using RichContentRotator too. All the pizazz of Flash without the need for a plugin. DHTML does the trick :).- Industry-First Navigation Features: Automatic highlighting of the selected path, with support for ItemSelected and ChildItemSelected styles; Paths can be selected through URLs, query string parameters, or ASP.NET postbacks; new support for a host of navigation methods;
- New Tab Strip Interface: An extra user control is included to enable multi-level Tab Strip navigation types;
- IE5 on Mac: Full support is now provided for Internet Explorer version 5.1 on Macintosh;
- Rendering over Windowed Objects: Menus are now properly rendered over any windowed object, including Flash movies, Java applets, or any custom ActiveX object;
- New Examples: The number of examples included with the product has been expanded greatly -- with new design and programming examples, and an all-new set of navigation examples;

Holy Speech Enabled Websites Batman!
Amid much fanfare, the next release of the .NET Speech SDK (now entitled Speech Application SDK) Beta 3 is available. It's not downloadable, and requires VS.NET 2003 (no surprise there), but they've added a ton of killer new features, not the least of which is PocketPC support (I KNEW there was a reason I bought my iPaq... now if I could just get Windows Mobile 2003...)
