This is my personal blog where I like to blog about technology and other interesting stuff in life.
This past Saturday I attended the second Twin Cities Code Camp with a few members on my team. I was very impressed with this event and best of all, it was free.

I want to use a .net solution so I can easily develop my own “plug-ins” by using User Controls. The ASP.NET blogging application I have ran accross thus far reminds […]
