identitymine showcase

Posted by Karim on August 21, 2008

I’ve been privileged to work at IdentityMine at a time when some truly amazing interaction design and end-user experience work has been happening, but it’s always been difficult to showcase that work to others. This is usually because of contractual obligations, but it’s also a logistics problem. Silverlight work is much easier to disseminate; simply install the plug-in and go to a site with good content, but WPF and particularly Surface have more difficult hurdles to get around in order to have others experience work that IdentityMine has done.

To resolve some of this, IdentityMine has set up some good quality videos on a Vimeo channel, which includes our official Reel.  Below is the Surface Promo. Special thanks to Kurt for setting this up!

intellisense for blend

Posted by Karim on August 04, 2008

Something to ease the pain of switching between Visual Studio and Blend. An Intellisense AddIn for Blend!

A well executed, no-nonsense addin, reusing Kaxaml’s intellisense code and hooking Blends ICodeEditor. Well done, Stefan.

My only concern is what happens when a second highly useful addin becomes available. I hope Blend 3 has AddIn management on the table, or perhaps an AddIn Manager addin is in order…
