What has been a rumor forever has finally come to fruition - subscribers to both NetFlix and XBox Live Gold can stream movies to their XBOX 360 - intro details and caveats here.  This is something I have been waiting for for a very long time.  I was doing the Blockbuster Online DVD thing by mail for a while because I liked the option of going to the Blockbuster on the corner and swapping movies.  The challenge recently, however, has been that I've been so busy with family and work things the past few months I was never watching what came by mail and just rolled over to swap DVDs for something more recent when I had time to watch a movie.  I've thought the idea of getting movies via XBox would be great - but then again, I don't do much pay-per-view either so maybe not.  Regardless, this is a cool announcement and a nice first step.  Hopefully, it won't be long before the entire NetFlix catalog is available.  When it is, maybe that will be the time to watch all of the Babylon 5 episodes again! ;-)

Ryan Stewart over on ZDNet has some interesting thoughts on this area... nothing earth-shattering but one of the few times I have seen this thought put together so succinctly.

Tim Barcz posted today about how he and his team will be transitioning from an ASP.NET 1.1 app to ASP.NET MVC.  Tim plans on posting how it goes, problems, tips, etc.  I'm really excited about the opportunity to "watch over his shoulder" as Tim gets to work on the transition.  There hasn't been much said out there about actually making this kind of transition.  Quite a bit about why you might want to make the transition (and Tim covers some of that in his post) but not much about real world "how I got here from there" information.  I'll keep my fingers crossed that Tim will have the time to post often and in detail about how things are going.
