		<title>“draft whurley” Featured on Linux.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Thursday I posted my thoughts about Microsoft’s OSS announcements (go digg it: 3 Reasons Microsoft Needs an Open Source Officer), namely the formation of the CodePlex Foundation (awesome) and the departure of Sam Ramji (bummer).

		<description><![CDATA[This is one of my favorite talks that I&#8217;ve been doing lately. I like the concepts here because they don&#8217;t just apply to Silverlight applications, but all of your software development. I also like that fact that most people don&#8217;t think about some of the more advanced software approaches that you can take with Silverlight. [...]]]></description>
