In this next entry in my peer networking discussion series, I talk about some of the reasons why just having a pure peer network isn't good enough for today's modern apps - we need more.

Apple's WWDC conference has always had a really high attendance rating and has been sold to capacity many times in the past, but this is the first time they've ever sold out all space before the conference started. Is the iPhone the cause?

Are you hopelessly addicted to programming in SharePoint? Do you think that everything in the world can be fixed using a custom list, some duct tape, the BDC and chewing gum? If so, read this post!

I recently ran across this 15 minute clip of Clay Shirky talking about what he brilliantly refers to as the cognitive surplus and how that applies to things like Wikipedia and Web 2.0. It's an absolute must-watch

One thing that seems to stir up a lot of controversy whenever talking about PNRP is its (alleged) resemblance to ZeroConf and more specifically, Apple's implementation of it - Bonjour. This post compares the pros and cons of both

I'm down 18 pounds over the span of 5 weeks - well on my way to my goal of losing 30 pounds before WWDC

This weekend I went to see Iron Man at a nearby DLP theater with speakers that shook the seats. Read the blog post for my review and commentary.

During my last trip to Best Buy, on a whim I picked up a DVI-to-HDMI connector (male DVI, female HDTV). This little doohicky plugs into the side of my Macbook Pro and then I plug the HDMI cable into that. I run the other end of the HDMI cable into th

Continuous LINQ, a C# 3.5 extension library that enables standard LINQ queries to remain dynamic and continuous long after the initial query, has been updated to version 1.1 and includes a new demo and lots of new features

This blog post in my peer networking series introduces the Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRP), what it is, how it works, and why you should care.

On Sunday, like a LOT of people, I went out and picked up Mario Kart Wii and a couple of spare Wii Wheels so that I could play with the family. Unfortunately, Mario Kart Wii appears to NOT WORK AT ALL. I detail the story in the blog post

In my series exploring peer networking I've talked about the anatomy of peer networks. In this blog post, I talk about how the WCF Peer Channel enables application developers to build peer applications.

I am an avid consumer of all things related to consumer electronics and all things involving code. However, one thing that I am truly passionate about is networking, and one thing I am OBSESSED with is Peer Networking.

I have vowed that I will lose 30 pounds before I arrive at WWDC 2008 this year. My progress is decent, but I wanted to use this blog post to talk about food addiction.

The analogy might seem odd, but read the blog post and bear with me and hopefully it'll make some sense. Lately, I've been noticing that the act of maintaining one's social network online is as ugly as the "MMO Grind" that makes so many quit MMOs.

In this blog post I show you how to create your own continuous aggregates that extend CLINQ with domain-specific functionality like VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).

I'm just about ready to start upgrading the demo suite to be compatible with some of the new code I'm writing for CLINQ 1.1 and thought I'd post a preview of Continuous Aggregation

The other day I picked up a copy of Michio Kaku's "Hyperspace" on a whim. I haven't been able to put it down since. Its like reading about how reality really works, not the boring crap you see before your eyes every day.

I was poking around with CLINQ, trying to figure out where I might be able to use ContinuousCollections when I found a great one: WF tracking services. With CLINQ and WF Tracking, I can write queries against WF activity logs

I just got a gift card in the mail from Best Buy, offering their condolences on my stupidity in jumping into the HD format wars and choosing HD-DVD (bought the Xbox HD-DVD player). Is this genuine goodness or a diabolical plot??

This year's WWDC is bound to be one of the coolest, most amazing and knowledge-packed ever. They have an entire track devoted to the iPhone - read the post for more details!

Given how many "partners" that Microsoft has working with Silverlight are receiving either funds, or programming services from MS in exchange for their adoption - what is the true adoption rate of Silverlight?

One of the features that I don't see used often enough is the ability to add your own properties and methods to an existing ADO.NET Entity Model through the magic of partial classes. I show some samples of why I use this feature extensively.

At the iPhone Developer Summit, someone from Microsoft Competetive Intelligence asked me what I thought was wrong with Windows Mobile. I told her: WM is a shrunken, crippled version of Windows.

Yesterday I presented a couple of sessions on the iPhone at the iPhone Developer Summit, which is part of Ajaxworld 2008. I've included some thoughts, commentary, and my slides
