When ASP.NET MVC hit like Preview 3 or 4, quite a few of us were saying "We should get together and build new blog software based on MVC, it would be so fun!".

Well as good ideas go sometimes this one passed by the wayside due to lack of time available. Fortunately this is not true, when the Channel9 team had the same idea. They've build a new blog engine called Oxite based on ASP.NET MVC and their experience building sites like Ch9, Ch10, Ch8, Edge and especially MIX Online.

Check it out! Its a very nice feature set for an initial release and its a full working sample for learning ASP.NET MVC.

Congrats, MIX Online and Ch9 dev team!

It finds lightbulbs.

Am I the only one that only hears the intro music and then nothing at all?

Even with mics, we're quiet guys. Smiley

I hear the opening music, then the alternating words "so" and "super". Hey, just like every vid that has msft employees in it.

j/k, except not.

I agree its awful, really. I was lacking sleep when we shot this video and my "So" blocker wasn't working really well. At least you didn't have to edit it Smiley
