At and around MIX I managed to get into a couple shows to talk about my work in Silverlight 3. Hanselminutes Podcast 155 Scott and I sat down in a side room at mix09 and talked about the Silverlight 3 C64 emulator for a bit. And yes, 1mhz is 1 million times a second :) Scott Hanselman’s Weekly Source Code Scott pulls out some of the interesting bits of code from the C64 emulator and blogs a...

At this year’s MIX, for the first time, I submitted a ShowOff video. The topic was my Silverlight 3 C64 emulator.

If you are even remotely into w...

A few other folks (like Tim Sneath and Shine Draw) have put up their lists of favorite MIX09 10k entries, so I thought I’d do the same. There’s some amazing work there, and all in 10k of source code (not 10k compiled, 10k of source). Of course, if you like byte-budgeted contests, you should check out some of the assembly demos folks do in 8, 16 and 64k. Awesome stuff.So here are my ...
