Fiber to the Home Webinar today

Today at 1pm Central, Dave Smith - one of the visionary CEO's in Austin - is holding a Webinar on what Fiber to the Home will mean.  This pushing out of the bandwidth we've seen in the core of our networks to consumers everywhere will have a profound effect, on businesses, social groups, and individual behavior.  If you have a chance, connect in (there's that bandwidth thing) and hear what Dave has been seeing occurring as this inexpensive and accessible high bandwidth starts making it into our every day lives. 

The Webinar info can be found at http://www.ftthcouncil.org/?t=294

Silverlight Blueprint for SharePoint

You may have already seen the Silverlight Blueprints for SharePoint but you may not have seen that you can now find the project on CodePlex, and that there is a new update which includes information on Silverlight 2 Beta 2 as well as well as some great samples such as custom navigation, slider controls, media player information,and such.  You can find the project (and contribute to it as well if you like) at http://www.codeplex.com/SL4SP.

Specs! I need Specs! (And I'm not talking about my eyeglasses.)

I've been watching a more expensive kit at Fry's for a while, but Ecotopia has a nice, more affordable (if you discount the shipping, I'm sure) Hydrogen fuel cell car.  Why am I ranting about the specifications for it?  Because I've already got my Micro .Net Framework board running off solar, but solar is much less desirable when you're demoing in a presentation room than when you're out and actually using the board.  A fuel cell (or a couple if it came to that) would be great for both staying off grid when we talk about remote sensor nets and the like, and would be useful as well to put in the bots to keep my impatient and OC self from playing the battery shell game with charged, discharged and partially charged battery sets between the wall charger and the bots themselves.

If you notice something familiar about AMD's Blog site....

That's because it's SharePoint, working with the Community Kit's EBE.
