That's a great shot... GreenshotJul 06, 2011 at 6:00 AM

Screenshots. We all do them. Windows 7's Snipping Tool is okay, yet pretty minimal, but the price isn't bad. There's the granddaddy utility, SnagIt from TechSmith, which has more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at, but is not free. Then there's the many screen capture features with… -
It's as if it can read your mind...Jul 08, 2011 at 6:00 AM 4
Today's post is going to be a little lite on code, but I thought this just to cool to pass up (and it's been a few years since it was mentioned on Coding4Fun). Today's post come to us from Guy Smith-Ferrier, Mind Control Your Computer In C# This coming Wednesday (22nd June 2011) and next Friday (1st… -
Tag, you are it... Another way to organize your files in Visual StudioJul 11, 2011 at 6:00 AM 1
If you're reading this blog, it's pretty likely you're a Visual Studio user. And like most dev's you like to organize your project files and folder is "just this way". But what if you wanted to provide a different organization? Or have multiple file layouts? Wouldn't it be cool if you… -
Location, Location, Location... A Bing Maps Rest Wrapper for WP7Jul 13, 2011 at 6:00 AM 1
Location, location, location. No we're not talking real estate, instead mobile app development. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times already, but location is a/the killer feature for mobile app dev. We have a powerful device with us where ever we go, and it knows (or can know with your… -
I can C# your Lego Hexapod...Jul 15, 2011 at 6:00 AM 1
What's more fun than Legos? Robotic Legos? Robotic Legos that you can C# code for! I've not blogged much about the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio here, but there's fewer fun things that it. With it you can control not only real robots, like the Lego Mindstorms NXT, but virtual robots as well.… -
Dream in Spanish? Here's 27 App Hub WP7 tutorials just for you... (Soñar en español? Aquí es 27 App…Jul 18, 2011 at 6:00 AM 0
This is not a project pre-se, but I wanted to highlight some excellent work done by the community that opens the App Hub WP7 Tutorials to a much wider audience.

I've done a number of hardware posts recently, mostly focusing on Netduino related projects. But what if you're like me and you're not sure where to start when getting the actual hardware kits? Or don't really know what options there are, types of kits available, etc.? Yeah, and you're interested… -
Multiplayer Platforming with Mango flavored TCP and UDPJul 22, 2011 at 6:00 AM 5
Today's project shows off how you can take advantage of the new TCP/UDP socket supporting coming in the Windows Phone Mango release. You'd like taking an existing game and plugging in multiplayer support might be hard, or that socket support is a little much for you, but this post shows that it… -
How about a little physics in your augmented reality?Jul 25, 2011 at 6:00 AM 2
Today's post we're revisiting Sliverlight 5 (beta), augmented reality and the SLARToolkit, courtesy an update from Rene Schulte. When I read his post, I couldn't help but think of Will It Blend, where they keep throwing stuff into a blender to see if it can be blended... Like this project, where… -
WAT is to Social Gaming, as Windows Azure is to...Jul 27, 2011 at 6:00 AM 0
UPDATE: The Windows Azure Toolkit for Social Games (WATGames) and Tankstr sites are gone, offline, lost in the either, etc... Sorry about that. [Note: I hate 404's so this stub is here instead... The original content has been commented out]
