New and Notable 168
My four year old daughter, Heather, had her first ballet recital last night. It was a very proud moment for me. She had to wear a little makeup for the lights and with hair up, she looked beautiful but older and that was emotional. I have some things...

Thanks Oklahoma City and WCF PDFs!
Thanks Oklahoma City and especially Raymond for a great 2 days in the city! It was 76 degrees and I had a blast. Raymond was the best host a speaker could ever wish for and the group was great. One thing that is different from other groups is that they...
New and Notable 147

Windows Workflow 101 or 2 Months with WF
I don't really know what to call this post. I'm not as good as Palermo in doing 101 posts and I like to talk about the context and issues. And, I'm not just a pretty link-blogger so away we go :). Way back in October, I talked about Re-Hosting...
