Know what that screen shot is from? My computer where the Silverlight video is playing as expected in my Firefox 3 browser!
After working with Tim Heuer, who works on the Microsoft Silverlight team, I’m now able to see and enjoy all the wonderful Olympic video that’s available on NBC Olympics website.
Here’s what we did to […]

I believe I’ve now tried to watch videos on the NBCOlympics website more times than the number of medals that the United States has won so far in the games.
I thought I was getting closer this morning as I was back at the office and wanted to have some live video playing on the […]

I found a new blog of a Microsoft Senior Technical Evangelist, Tina Wood, that I was going to checkout tonight. When I got to her site though I noticed that Silverlight wasn’t working for me in Firefox 3 still.

One thing I failed to mention in my new review of the Windows Live Writer Technical Preview build was that whatever they’ve done, the update fixed the issues I was having with random categories being cut-off.

I was reminded today of a real annoyance of mine when I’m trying to work with Outlook. Somewhat frequently in my week I receive an e-mail with a graphic or image in it that I need to do some editing. It’s not really any serious editing that needs to be done, just a notation […]

Microsoft is promoting their MSN Mobile product and offering a chance to win a new Zune. Since my iPod mini is out-of-commission until I can get the opportunity to visit the Apple “Genius” bar, I’d love to win a Zune.
The website gives the ability to enter your mobile phone # and receive a text […]

I was just reminded of a valuable tool for anyone running Windows. It’s a little application that lets you see your product key for Windows. This particular software is from Misc Software and they have a variety of other applications that could be helpful to Windows users as well.
