Are you a couch potato?  Do you want to learn ASP.NET 2.0?  Maybe these are just what you are looking for.

Microsoft has put together a bunch of resources for learning ASP.NET, amongst them is a video series focused on teaching specific ASP.NET technologies.

As someone who loves to travel I am always really impressed by the new geo-mapping software that is coming out these days.   Here is a cracker!  Have a look at the preview at Windows Live Local! It allows you to virtually walk around at street level.  Cool!

He he he... Here is a funny take on a Waterfall Methodology seminar.

"Come to the Waterfall 2006 conference and see how a sequential development process can benefit your next project. Learn how slow, deliberate handoffs (with signatures!) between groups can slow the rate of change on any project so that development teams have more time to spend on anticipating user needs through big, upfront design."

The sessions I want to attend are:

• wordUnit: A Document Testing Framework by Kent Beck
• Refuctoring by Jason Gorman
• Testing: Saving the Best for Last by Lisa Crispin
• User Feedback: Eliminating the Main Cause of Project Overruns
• Upfront Design: If A Little Is Good, A Lot is Better

C'mon, you know you want to attend to... all the industry leaders will be there!

See you at Waterfall 2006
