Windows Live Writer Plugins

Found a great site that is keeping track of Windows Live Writer Plugins. I found it in my search for a code source code formatter plug-in. Will have to run through the different plugins and see what I can use.

Poker Announcers

2007 Heads-Up Poker Tournament

What is up with the announcers in the 2007 Heads-Up Poker Tournament? I have already complained about the announcing in Poker After Dark, but I take that back. I would much rather listen to that than those 2 tools on the Heads-Up tournament.

Okay Carl, I think you need to slow down with the .NET Rocks for a minute. I am seriously behind right now and will have to sit down for a solid week to catch up. Maybe you could take some time off and concentrate on Mondays for a bit. I really wish that
