A 3D Valentines day Greeting card.

I'd like to showcase a 3D Greeting card concept created in WPF. Feel free to customize and send this card to others too. The attached readme file in the download package has some information on customizing the card.

System and Software Requirements:
A processor better than a PIV.
Windows XP SP2 (with .NET Framework 3.0 or higher installed), Windows Vista or Windows 7.
A graphics card is recommended but not required.

i "C" - Widescreen Wallpaper

While experimenting with the Gimp, I designed this i "C" wallpaper and thought it was worth sharing. I probably could do an i "C++" or i "C#" version too!

What do you think?

Its a programmer thing

I'm just trying my hand out at web comics and though I'm far from Penny Arcade or xkcd, I'd really like to give my readers something to smile about. :)

AppStore in your web browser

If you don't have the iTunes player installed on your machine, you can still view the AppStore in your web browser at http://app-store.appspot.com. Of course, all you can do is view apps. You cannot download or purchase any. There is also no option to change the AppStore country (defaults to United States). All the same, its nice to know that we don't need the iTunes player to simply browse the AppStore.

EDIT: I just found two other websites that allow you to browse the AppStore -
http://www.yappler.com and http://appshopper.com.

g.ho.st is really cool stuff!

Recently, a few friends of mine pointed me to this awesome site - http://g.ho.st/
Its pronounced "Ghost". Ghost is basically a virtual computer on the internet and its been implemented really well. Best of all, the service is free! Head on over to the link above and check it out. Their intro video is a bit long-winded but it explains the concept of Ghost nicely.

Season's Greetings

Its that time of the year when new and wonderful things happen. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
