This isn’t the next One New Thing a Quarter I thought I’d be writing, but I’ve learned some things on this topic that I want to record, as much for myself as for anyone. This started with an offhand remark on the Polymorphic Podcast that there was an accelerated feed available. Listening...

This week’s Thing a Week was suggested by Mike Wood.  It’s a control I’m putting together for my WPF project for fun.  I really like the Tablet PC idea and enjoy using the pen as an input device where it makes sense, so I wanted a label that you could click on and bring up an ink editing panel...
