This is interesting. The dude behind Line Rider, the uber popular Flash game, has rewritten the game in Silverlight. Score one for us. I can’t tell if the site sniffs your browser so it might also display a version in Flash, but it’s kind of cool either way. I’m a little suspicious, though, because I think my beneficent employer might have had a hand in this. There’s even integration with Live.com services. I just hope he didn’t mind waking up with a horse head in his bed.
Still not as big of a victory for SL as DeepZoomObama.

I got into work early today (as in 9am) so I left early (as in 5pm) and with all my extra time (despite the traffic) I decided to try to cook a quiche. I followed this recipe:
I wussed out and used a frozen crust, though. I’d say it all went according to plan, though I’m not sure I could have planned for how delicious it turned out to be.
Let’s see if I can keep going with it.
I’m going to focus on anecdotes, things I cook, and things I work on in my spare time. At the very least my Twitter updates will magically appear here every 24 hours so there will be something posted.
