The VS Orcas team thinks there pretty slick, now when you change a line of xaml and don’t recompile the IDE will tell you there is an exception. This is great when you want to check for them, but not when you are editing code! How do these guys think up this stuff. One of the first things they should of done is stopped the IDE from crashing from bad or even good xaml code. Now I face the problem that one of my usercontrols crashes the IDE when another application try's to load it. The usercontrol works fine during run time but crashes during editing time! This usercontrol is very simple, three rectangles and one line.. This might be too much for the new powerful Orcas IDE to handle! Remember just to press ESC when ever loading the designer part of Visual Studio Orcas, because it tends never to work.

Microsoft Robotics Studio and Lego Mindstorms NXT
I'm going to finally put my NXT to use. One more item I need to get is a wireless camera, then I could create a simple bot to rom around parts of the house. I could even build a track close to the ceiling that the robot could track around. That sounds like a cooler idea!

East-West Cassino
This must be the craziest patent that I have ever seen. All kinds of spelling errors and insane rants. If you have time and want a good laugh I suggest you check this one out. If any of it makes sense to you please let me know.

"Are you a vegetarian?"
Today at work, some one pop'd there head into the office for a meeting. The manager he was supposed to meet with was just about to have lunch. The lunch was all vegetables and the co-worker ready for the meeting ask the manager "Are you a vegetarian?", The manager reply's "Yes" and then continues to say "I eat vegetables 95% of the time!". I guess its something you had to hear and see at the same time.

How To Write a 3D Game Engine
Not that I'm looking forward to do anything like this, but it should help with understanding the concepts of 3D engines.
Concepts behind the C# 3.0 language
This article is a nice introduction to the features and concepts new to C# 3.0.

Monte Carlo Simulation Using Parallel Asynchronous Web Services with .NET 2.0
Just thought it was cool!
.NET random number generators and distributions
This could make a very nice library for testing some gaming related programs I have.
Windows firewall by Yoggie Security Systems
An Israeli startup puts out a great product. This device is cheap and runs Linux. I have not played with it my self but once its on the market I have to buy one. I think usb key type devices are going to bring a whole new way we use computers. The memory is getting large, processor are getting smaller.. Public computers must just need your usb key to boot up a system that is defined by you. You could keep your desktop settings and personal programs all on one key.

I started to watch a TV series. The IT Crowd
Another post about a movie. Disaster!
This movie is better then Team America, towards the end it gets a little old, the same thing happen with Team America. Disaster! did not make it to the US movie theaters, but it should of. Funny puns on every walk of life happens in this movie! If you look at the director list, its a bunch of Jews who have done it again! The production of a great movie.
Running Scared (2006)
The most amazing movie I have seen by far. This movie is so unique in the way events happen, transition of scenes, and plot. The craziest part is when the pedophile murderers say "We are sick and need help", that part of the movie I just cant get out of my mind. I was happy when the lady shot them both, they don't get the chance of help!!! How the hell does someone come up with this shit.. Well here is a even crazier story. I just looked up that story, some people are really fucked up in this world.
Smoking Aces Crazy Kid
See The Skillz!@!@!@ I have been watching a few movies this week. This part of Smoking Aces was crazy.

Virtual Rape Is Traumatic, but Is It a Crime? Give me a break!
Who in the world would ever believe this. Virtual Rape? Are people so weak minded that text from a computer screen can be considered rape? The fear of what you can say and can not say to people is a big problem in the US, now we trying to make it a problem online. I think if people are so scared of words they might have bigger problems then "Virtual Rape", maybe they are so mentally unstable that they need physiological help. Second Life is a great idea for a game/online life... Its just sad that someone would think that there virtual world is real and treat it like one. Real Rape in the Real World is something to worry about, not silly online games where nothing is real. There digital bits that can be erased.... Not like real life where things are really embedded into a person mental health. Online life, I feel has effected people way to much, they cant tell the difference between whats happening online and whats happening in the real world.

WPF and Blend video FREE from lynda.com
I have been working with blend most every day now and there are still tons of little tricks to learn. The problem with blend is there is not enough documentation on how to use it efficiently.

Amazing article on using attributes in C#. Attributes can simplify some parts of generic programming tasks such as expanding enumerations like in the article above. The code for the article can be found here.
State-Driven Game Agent Design
A very good article on state machines, the code is in C++ but you can find a similar version for C# at Codecube.net.
