Silverlight blogging? and a Microsoft Store in SoCal?

So I was talking to David Silverlight down in Miami Florida earlier this evening and he started asking me about blogging. I had to lead him towards the path of enlightenment (Windows Live Writer) as he was complaining that he completely lost the blog post he had just written. Once we got that squared away David got to posting.

So there are a couple of announcements from David’s blog post.

1. David Silverlight has started a new blog, Silverlight on Silverlight If you are interested in learning more about the application from the man it was named after check out the blog!

2. The even cooler thing though is information he has about the new Microsoft Store opening up in Mission Viejo on Thursday the 29th. If you have been under a rock lately you may have missed that Microsoft Opened up a store in Scottsdale, AZ last week in coordination with the Windows 7 launch, and now they are opening up another one.

I am excited to get to go to a Microsoft Store myself as I am sick of seeing all the Apple stores in the malls these days! I really wanted to walk into the local Apple store when I was at the mall with my wife today and yell “You guys should all go buy Windows 7”, but I refrained from doing so. I am planning on going to the Scottsdale Microsoft Store while we are down in Tucson visiting my parents for the Holidays.

If you are in SoCal head over to The Shops at Mission Viejo to check it out! You can also “maybe” get some invitation only perks by emailing David! Be sure to check out his blog post for info on that.

If a reader wants to send me the goody bag they receive from the store opening I’ll send you a signed copy of my book, DotNetNuke 5: A User’s Guide.
