I've been noticing that VS 2008 was crashing a lot for me since installing the Silverlight 2 VS 2008 Tools. It seems that Cider is freaking out but Jon Galloway came to my rescue. If you're experiencing the crashes, go to:

The Silverlight SDK contains a couple of interesting gems that aren't appearent in the docs. I'll let everyone espouse the virtues of the runtime for the time being, I'd like to introduce you to a couple of tools in the SDK:

I've been contacted by a couple of potential customers about how the AIR story compete with Silverlight. This has also come up at several talk i've done recently. I am not an Adobe or Flash guy so I may be the wrong one to broach the subject, but it feels like they are not necessary competing. In a large way it feels like Microsoft is trying to get into the web space and compete for RIA, whereas AIR seems to be attempting to get onto the desktop.

I had a great time today (except for the drive) at the Alabama Code Camp. I want to thank everyone in Huntsville for a great welcome and thank Doug Turnure for help facilliting it all. (And thank Doug for following me on twitter;) Here are links to the presentations.
