		<title>ASP.NET MVC Charts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a few references online about how to get the new ASP.NET Charting controls working with the MVC framework.

		<title>Smooth Control with Touch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The new touch capabilities that are present in XNA 4.0/windows phone 7 present new opportunities for letting the user take control of the games that we can write.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve noticed that in recent years, twitter has become the near defacto &#8220;engine&#8221; for a number of things: Random list data for demos Scott Guthrie&#8217;s recent MIX keynote demo is a perfect example of this. He uses twitter to populate a simple listbox using his own feed. I do something similar in the sample project [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Phone 7 Game Archetypes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that the .NET landscape has a new &#8220;screen&#8221; to design for in the form of Windows Phone 7 (WM6.x doesn&#8217;t count ), we need to start thinking about how to provide users with consistent metaphors and input mechanisms.

		<title>Approximating Touch Points</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Windows Phone 7 Phone UI Guidelines calls out that the minimum touch target size should be about 9mm (34px) and I started to think about what it would take to implement this in an XNA game.
