    I have just created a new Forums section available from the menu bar above.  Feel free to post comments/questions/whatever regarding my articles (or anything else in the General section) so that I and/or others can easily respond.  I have disabled anonymous posting so it doesn't turn into a SPAM-fest, which means you will need to create an account to post.  Note that your email address and any other information entered goes no further than this site, so there is no need to worry about your account turning into a SPAM-fest either.  Thanks!

  • You Don't Know Jack

    What is perhaps my favorite PC game of all time has been re-incarnated as a daily flash-based game.  Head over to www.youdontknowjack.com to play a new Dis or Dat question every day.  I wonder and hope if this means we'll be seeing a new Jack in the future...

  • Holiday Light Show Part 2

    I have updated the article with some new source code and executables, and a video of the beginning of my first sequence using what I've built.  Take a look!


    Update: If readers of the article/blog have questions regarding the project, please use the Contact link above or use the new Forum topic so that I can respond to you.  If you have a comment which doesn't require a response from me, please leave that comment below.  I've received several questions over the past few days entered as anonymous comments and I have no way to respond to them without cluttering up the section below.  Thanks!

  • Coding4Fun and Holiday Light Shows

    My latest article is now posted on MSDN's Coding4Fun website!

    We've all seen those animated, musical holiday light shows videos on the internet, or perhaps the beer commercial last holiday season.  I set out to create my own show using off-the-shelf components and .NET .  So, with one or many Phidget Interface Kits, some extension cords, and Visual C# Express 2005 or Visual Basic Express 2005, you too can create your own holiday light extravaganza!

    I'll be posting updates to the article as time goes on, including a video of my own show once completed, so check back often...
