Courtney and Broccoli McGregor
May 22, 2012 by
I’m not sure where the name came from, but Cameron used to love to ride Broccoli McGregor. For some reason, Courtney brought him in from the play room this morning and was having a great time. You know what that means 🙂
Time to turn the camera on!

WinPhoneUnleashed Event–Tempe AZ May 5th
May 8, 2012 by
Last year, several community leaders held a Windows Phone Unleashed event. This year we hosted it again with @DanWahlin taking the presentation lead (and speaker manager role) while I stayed behind and ran logistics.
Last year we focused on Applications, where this event focused on XNA Games. we had a great turn out, and we snapped a few pictures of the applications that were built.
We also had a WinPhone Celeb: Jonathan Isabelle who has written “Jack of all Tools” for Windows Phone, which now has (to date) 140k downloads. We sat down with Jonathan for a few minutes and recorded a small social cast.

We had a great time, and I would like to thank the Speakers for their efforts, the community for their support, and Microsoft for the content.

#100 Reach the Navigation bar via the keyboard
February 19, 2012 by
At the very top of the editor and just below the File Tab Channel, you’ll find the Navigation Bar. The left combo box lists objects and the right lists the select objects members. This is very useful when you need to jump to various functions throughout a large solution, or you want to see what functions an object has (or is missing).
To jump to the navigation bar via the keyboard, press Ctrl+F2. This is bound to the command Window.MoveToNavigationBar, so your keyboard shortcut mileage may vary. To toggle between the Objects list and the Members list, press Tab or Shift+Tab.
Additionally, you can hide (or show) the navigation bar by going to Tools – Options – Text Editor – All Languages – General and setting the Navigation bar option to the desired setting. Note that since this is found in All Languages, you can customize this for any listed language under the Text Editor node.
#99 Change the Brace Matching color

A previous tip talked about what that automatic delimiter highlighting option does. A follow-up tip is how to change the Brace Matching color.
Go to Tools – Options – Fonts and Colors, select Brace Matching (Rectangle), and set to the desired color.
