I encountered a NullReferenceException when I tried to install the Visual Studio content that comes with the WCF REST Starter Kit Preview 1. I found a work around, so I thought I'd share. Download the source package from CodePlex and in the "Futures/Visual Studio Templates Installer" directory you will find RESTStarterKit.vsi. Just double-click it and you should be good to go. When I tried to execute RunVsi.exe it just crashed.
I just finished delivering MSE training in Amsterdam to regional Microsoft consultants. These guys understand the SOA problem space really well and code like few people can. Truly impressive to see so much talent in one room. I think I’m going to end up taking many of their ideas back to the rest of the team for us to incorporate into MSE.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This is quite possibility the worst movie of the year that played nationally in theaters. Clearly, George Lucas has not been in touch with what makes a good movie in a long time… long time.

This immediately made me think of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and that made me think of Josh Gahr and Shawn Skipper. It makes me think of Josh and Shawn, but I think Shawn and Doug actually did the skit. The dialogue was brilliant and made me laugh so hard I was waking up other passengers. The ending was predictable, but definitely Shakespearean. One of the best of the year.

[Contradictory statements ahead!] I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but it ended up not being what I expected. That doesn’t make sense, but it makes sense to me. Watch it.
