I’m back. Been busy as hell since we got back from Mexico…

• Ajax: A New Approach – Apparently there is now a name for XML+Javascript web applications like GMail and Google Maps. BTW, if you haven’t tried Google Maps yet, you need to stop right now and go check it out. Amazing.
• Getting Rid of WebForms – Brad Wilson wrote about this idea a long time ago and now it looks like they’ve done it for CruiseControl.NET too.
• Automobile Virus – It had to happen. Soon we will have viruses for everything we own. Oh the wonderful world of connected devices.
• Process Explorer 9.0 – This must have too from sysinternals revved lately. Go get it.
• XSLTO – Wow. This is a much friendlier way to do XSLT – in C#. I’m with Craig on this one… less XML-as-a-programming-language.
• More Presentation Tips – I’ve always referred people to Scott Hanselman’s presentation tips, but when Scott starts referring people to this list, you gotta take a look.
• Building Your Own Windows MCE Home Theatre System – From scratch for about $1500. Hmmm… I love my TiVo, but when I finally decide to give up on it, I think I’ll build something like this.
• Help Beatallica – From Craig Andera’s post: “…they need your help. They're being sued by the a-holes at Sony for copyright infringement of The Beatles work, despite the fact that they're doing parodies, which is legal.”
