Silverlight 1.1 Alpha
Silverlight 1.1 Alpha was released today after the announcement by Scott Guthrie at MIX07 that Silverlight will also have .NET support! You really must see the video that shows Top Banana, an incredible demo of what Silverlight can be used to create. You can view the Top Banana demo video here.
Mike Harsh has a lot of great information on his blog about Silverlight and Brad Abrams posted a nice highres Silverlight poster! I am looking forward to playing around with Silverlight 1.1 Alpha!

I learned more about IIS 7 and PowerShell this weekend. I will blog more about these as I have more time. As an ASP.NET developer I really like all of the new features of IIS 7 and as a .NET developer how cool is PowerShell!
Workbench #3
Well it has been awhile since my last update. Since that time our wonderful daughter Kate was born! We have been having a lot of fun getting to know her and trying to get some rest when we can!
Now that Kate is here I now need to get very busy with the crib that I am building for her! I have my workbench about 95% complete and just need to finish assembling the base. I needed this finished before I can begin dimensioning all of the beautiful hard maple that has been sitting for the past three weeks. I have a nice new surface planer that needed a sturdy table top.
I will post pictures of the finished project later this week after I have had time to finish the base, belt-sand the top, and then finally smooth plane the top. This weekend is the Twin Cities Code Camp so I will probably not get much done on my woodworking projects.
