win $10,000 or read a new book about .NET

It has been a busy week for me and a quiet week for .NET news.

Here are some happenings around this space:
* Joe Duffy, an BCL PM for threading recently released his new book .NET Framework 2.0. I know Joe has been working hard on it and the book covers a broad set of topics in the .NET Framework 2.0.
*I found this very interesting competition called "Made in Express" to win $10,000 by using Microsoft Express Edition software. Robert Scoble and Phillip Torrone are the first two judges selected to evaluate the application submitted. 

cool stuff...
