Well here we are in 2010, still no flying cars but some guy is about to skydive from space. We aren’t talking to our computers, well at least not as our more prevalent method of interacting with them. Nevertheless progress is being made and it is an interesting time to be alive. I have just come back from a long winters nap, pretty much the entire month of December I had some time with my family and my new son who is now one year old.
I have come back to see that Silverlight 4 which I mentioned in my last post is trickling out into the wild. The most recent and most fun example of that I have had the chance to play with is the new out of browser Facebook client available here. It shows you how to install Silverlight 4 plugin for your machine both PC and Intel based MAC OS. It’s a nice interface and takes advantage of some of the new feature in Silverlight 4 like webcam integration.
My friend Victor Gaudioso has been really playing around with that webcam support in SL4 so I recommend you check out his blog for some of his insight into how that has been going.
Tim Heuer has an excellent write up on the Facebook app on his blog I highly recommend you check that out.
More to come but for now happy new year and welcome to 2010.

Get the ball rolling!
