Update your bookmarks and blog readers--I'm moving

Lake Okoboji is freezing over indefinitely. In an effort to unify all the random stuff I do, I've rolled my WPF blogging under my (vanity) domain. Point your favorites and feed aggregators to work.j832.com . See you on the other side!

Windows Vista: What Should WebSite Hosters Do?

Check out Rob's blog on instructions for ISP's (or anyone that runs a server) on how to host WPF content (XBaps, XPS docs, etc). If you're a WPF fan, link to this post. T'would be good to build awareness on this topic.

On ItemTemplate, ContentTemplate, DataTemplate

A (super rough) Christmas Present

It's 1:22 AM. I think I'm getting sick. I'm flying out for California tomorrow. Haven't packed yet. And I'm coding. Some ideas you just have to get working before you can put them down. In no way is this beatiful code. The end-to-end is pretty interesting,

Business Objects are cooler than you think
