Thanks to a post by Nick Parker, I found out my blog site was not producing valid RSS... and now it is :) […]

I few people emailed me to ask if the various free (referral based) offers out there are working for me... well, yes and no. I have 4 out of the 8 referrals required for a free flat screen, 1 out of 11 for the free mini mac and none for the free Personal Video Player... which makes sense actually, I […]

When I first came down to the US, I had to pick a doctor and go in for a physical, and when the doctor was done with all the various procedures he needed to perform, he asked me if I had any particular health concerns. I really only had one, but I didn't see the point in mentioning it, I didn't […]

An A-List of .NET consultants, including my friend Joel Semeniuk amongst others, are auctioning themselves off on EBay... with the proceeds going towards disaster relief in Indonesia. Check out the details (and the full list of folks)

I'm not sure if this is already over-hyped, but I just heard about it today so please forgive me if everyone is talking about this already :) Mr. Potato Head Darth Tater […]

Just saw this, a whole list of MiniMac sized PCs.... maybe Mac folks would say it isn't about the size, it is about the experience... but I'm […]

I've been meaning to mention this for awhile, but better late than never: […]

We'll feature over 40 webcasts, cool giveaways, and brand-new technical guidance from expert […]

A few people have emailed to let me know about the various 'conga lines' out there, for people interested in the referral based offers discussed in my previous post. One source for these, that I know of, is a forum on GearLive that lists a few different ones. I guess it isn't surprising that these […]

I read this PVP cartoon last week, talking about the free iPod thing, and now I've seen similar things (free dvds, free pcs, free video games, etc...) from the same company. After reading about it, I gave in. I signed up for the Columbia deal personally, though the blockbuster offer seems 'free-er' […]

The recent annoucements around Visual Fox Pro 9.0 have brought up a bunch of memories, and have me tempted to install VFP for the first time in years... Whether or not you have a chance to give VFP 9 a try, if you are planning on getting into .NET or VB .NET specifically and have a FoxPro backg […]

The demo is online, building up images dynamically and serving them up to you in a few seconds (depending on connection speed I assume)... but the code and the accompanying explanation is top-notch, so if you are interested in GDI+ info, check this out!! […]
