In a word, Awesome... (sorry, couldn't resist) Board of AwesomenessMembers of the Chaotic Moon team are like little kids—you tell us we can’t do something, we’re sure going to go out and do it.

It wouldn't be a "coding week" if we didn't include a couple getting started posts. Today's comes via the very cool Kinect Education site. If you're interested in developing with/for the Kinect (which since you're here I kind of assume you are) you should following Kinect Education site or…

The theme for this week seems to be working out to a "let's code" week. Today's project is one that's pretty unique and something I've seen only a couple times and I think this is the first that used the Kinect for Windows SDK and included the source too... Kinect & HTML5 using…

While Christmas is behind us and the decorations put away, it's about that time to start going through our pictures. And there's few cuter pictures than this (plus it's a cool Kinect project too [#KINECT] Merry Christmas with Kinect and Visual Studio 2010 (gift of the Valentino)In these days of…
