Last Post: Various Links

I've been catching up on my blog reading...interesting stuff I came across; PNRP in Windows 7 being used for "remote assistance". Sounds very cool. You can find a few PNRP examples on this blog if you search. Seadragon in AJAX from Live Labs - if you've seen DeepZoom in Silverlight then this is the same underlying technology (AFAIK) without the Silverlight part. Themes for WPF released on CodePlex ( a port of the Silverlight versions from the Silverlight Toolkit ). There's also a port of the charts...
