Yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure of announcing the CTP of XNA Game Studio 3.0 LIVE. I was speaking on XNA at Laguardia Community College's 3rd Annual New Media Day , my first session went from 10:15 - 11:15...and since I couldn't announce the CTP until 11am - it was a great finish to my talk!
