T-Shirts!!!!!
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009About a year ago, I was looking in my closet, and realized that all my T-Shirts were about 5 years old, and starting to get kinda gross. Thus I set off on a quest to upgrade my T-Shirt collection. Fortunately, the interwebs has made this rather easy. ...
The Future of C#
Monday, July 6th, 2009Here's a video from the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference that I attended last year in Los Angeles. It was probably the best talk I heard while I was there.

World Cup Qualifier: U.S. vs Trinidad & Tobago – LP Field, Nashville, TN – 04/01/09
