I'll be leaving either tonight or tomorrow morning (really early) to start heading to Fort Smith, AR. Tuesday evening will be in Springdale, AR and finishing up Thursday evening in Harrison, AR. If you are in the area of *all* three user group, consider attending all three since each group will host a different topic. LINQ - An Average ...

Before seeing the movie, back when information regarding some of the story elements starting coming out, I was extremely concerned regarding the inclusion of yet another "temporal anomaly" being used to spark the story line.  It's not that Star Trek hasn't had time travel elements in there from the beginning, it's just ...

I'll be at the San Diego ASP.NET SIG on May 19th doing my LINQ in the Real World discussion.  For anyone that has been at my previous "presentations", you'll know that I prefer to have more of a discussion surrounding the topic than a lecture.  So if you're in the area and would like to help spark conversation, feel ...

Oh yeah, by the way, I'm now an INETA speaker. ;-) What does this really mean?  Well, if you'd like to get me to come out to your user group, all you need to do is put in a request to www.INETA.org and they'll help with the travel/hotel expenses and even pay for the pizza!  So here's a chance that you and I can meet face ...

It's time again for Action Movie Night! This is just a quick reminder regarding the Action Movie Night taking place Saturday evening, January 17th, 2009, starting at 6:00pm located at my house so space is limited to those that RSVP.  The movies being shown are: AND  This time around the theme is "The ...

Announcing the Dallas/Fort Worth dnux group.  What is it?  .NET has been growing in size over the past 5+ years and, as such, it's hard to cover everything in a .NET user group meeting.  Some people may call what dnux is as a "sig"; however, although there are similarities between dnux and a sig, the subjects covered ...

Oh yeah... and I'll have to follow up regarding Michael Dunn's promises that he made for winning Visual Studio Team System + MSDN Premium.  You can go here for the list and below I will outline what has been completed: 1. Just checked, not done. :-( 2. Well at least I haven't heard him say it... I'll have to ask Jason. 3. ...

I completely forgot about this... so shoot me. ;-) In less than 6 weeks, the Dallas (and some of us Fort Worth guys) managed to put together our first Code Camp event with attendee count of 190+ people.  We had presentations and chalk talks.  I ran one of each and the turn out was great.  If you didn't make it to this one, we are ...

As I talked about back in December, I got a chance to play an early version of SiN Episodes but since I am under NDA (non-disclosure agreement) I couldn't really talk much about the game.  Well, the game was demonstrated at CES 2006 and GameSpy has the scoop.  Rather than repeat what they discuss, go there to find out more.  Toward ...

To all those that didn't get in on the SiN play testing that occurred yesterday, my apologies.  There were only a limited number of seats available and I had to hand them out on a first come - first served basis.  Micheal and I will be making an attempt to do this sort of thing in the future (probably on future projects).  ...
