In this video, Adam Kinney explains what the PathListBox is and why it is so compelling. Then, he demonstrates several ways of using it in creative examples. The PathListBox is one of the newest features available in Expression Blend, Silverlight 4 and WPF 4. It redefines how users look at lists of data as it breaks the mold of a list “box” and opens the possibilities to use any shape or path.

With Windows 7, WPF 4, Silverlight 4, and the road paved by our multi-touch handheld devices, Multi-touch is really hitting mainstream.
While at MIX10, I spoke with Josh Blake about NaturalShow, his multi-touch not-PowerPoint presentation approach, written in WPF. Josh uses multi-touch to navigate through a really clever way of presenting material. I’d try and describe it, but it’s really best if you watch it.
Dave Campbell runs the super-popular SilverlightCream. SilverlightCream is the best place to find current and past blog posts related to Silverlight development.
I caught up with Dave at MIX10 and asked him what went into putting together this daily list of excellent Silverlight content.
John ran into Silverlight MVP Ward Bell of IdeaBlade while at MIX10 (how could anyone miss him!). Ward was kind enough to sit and talk with John to show off the multi-touch application his company wrote for UFC using Silverlight. It uses multi-touch, Caliburn, MVVM, and, of course, Silverlight!

I recently ported my own site and blog from a combination of community server and custom code to the Umbraco open source CMS and Blog4Umbraco 4. There are several other sites at Microsoft that are following a similar path.
At MIX10, I caught up with a bunch of dudes related to Umbraco, including Per Ploug Hansen from the Umbraco Corporation itself, Alex Norcliffe, a core team member from Xeed, Pete Miller, a user and creator of some related work from Conde Nast Digital, and Will Coleman from Microsoft UK. Together we discussed what Umbraco is, how folks are using it, what you need to know to work in it, and a little on where Umbraco is going in the future.
