Desklets and Getting Started with XAML →
Jackson has written a fantastic tutorial on his blog (and I
think it should be moved to the Mono web site as a Guide).
check it out: A
Mono Developers Guide To Writing XAML.
For those of you participating in the #desklets effort, the
above is a good getting started guide on XAML.

China's manufacturing cities - photo gallery →
Cory Doctorow:
Wired News is sporting a gallery of photos of the vasty manufacturing cities of China, eye-melting panoramas of endless assembly lines and dormitories and cafeterias. I just attended a jaw-dropping talk by Chumby’s Bunnie Huang about his tours of Chinese factories on the way to setting up Chumby manufacturing and every slide inspired a fresh weirdness. For example, in one...
Red and White Fleet (3/5) →
We did this yesterday for Eileen’s birthday and took the sunset cruise. It was pretty fun and an enjoyable way to spend two hours. However, it is definitely touristy.
Food was served buffet style with it being fairly simple fare: pizza, salad, sandwiches etc. The boat itself was in good condition. The only thing was that it was fairly expensive at $40.

We highly doubt LumiGram’s Luminous Fiber Optic Tablecloth was designed with power outages in mind, but why hook up a boring string of lamps or fiddle with half melted candles when you can plug this bad boy into the generator? The cloth, which has fiber optics woven throughout, cotton borders, and a Europlug mains adapter, proves most useful when the lights are...
