Jesse Liberty, Silverlight programmer extraordinaire, has a great article on graphing in Silverlight. Videos are to follow……mmmm, I love videos.
Graphing is such an essential part of any business application and glad to see another great resource to get you started.

What is Startup Weekend you ask? Startup Weekend is a intense 54 hour event bringing together brilliant tech minds (developers, designers, marketers, ect.) together to create a company (or as many as the community wants) from concept to launch!
The company has already produced some very promising ideas like TwitPay.me, CloseBy.me, Givingti.me
This type of collaboration made to start to think about how the concept could be moved into Internet Marketing. How about marketing leaders (or just go getters) come together to create rich products for the big thing in this space.
Almost time for the big party, YouTube.com launches live in 30 minutes. Tune in for the live streamed about LIVE video on you tube.
Just discovered a Twitter tweet from Copyblogger, great post about this article he found about are you left vs right brained. Although is a simplictic test, it blew me away how I cannot see lady in the picture spinning counter-clockwise at all. I can only see her spinning clockwise. Check out the details on are you left or right brained.
I was very surprised to find out I’m right brained. Considering the amount of logical analytical things I do every day. But this better explains why I feel so right playing the guitar or piano. Very interesting little test go check it out.
My Christmas goose came early, Google is tracking and indexing Flash content and hopefully means Silverlight soon as well.
iPhones are going to be sold in Walmart start December 28th. ZDNet reports Walmart and Apple have reached an agreement to begin carrying the iPhone. The article mentions that there is no indication on price, but…
Anyone else see a big price drop coming? I was just about to get a iPhone 3g sometime this month, but now I’m going to wait until after the first of the year to see where this all goes. If a lot of people are like me, this could proove to be a costly timing for this announcement.
These guys are proving they are not very smart…

Good post on “Why Apple Won’t Allow Flash on The iPhone” from Brian Chen. Interesting problem for Apple and I can see both sides of the issue. What would you do if you were making the decision at Apple?
