Over on the slog, there’s a heated debate going on about which type of apple is the best. By my non-scientific count, honey crisps seem to be winning by a landslide. As if there was ever any real question about their superiority.

Wedding Photo Highlights
Kenny and I were fortunate to find an amazing Seattle wedding photographer named Rebecca Sullivan. She has showcased some highlights from our wedding in her portfolio on her website. To find us, click on “Celebrations,” and in the new window that pops up, scroll down to the album labeled “JOYOUS.”
In there you’ll also get a sneak peek at our cake (made by cake goddess Aimee at Hollyhock Cakes), our flowers (arranged by flower genius Julie at Bella Rugosa), and our band (the ever-entertaining HB Radke). We lucked out with some pretty awesome local vendors.
We actually have over 1200 photos from Rebecca on 4 DVDs. At some point I’ll get around to getting a set of highlights (hopefully around 150-200) up on this site. Before I get to that, we still need to finish writing thank you notes (almost done).

SW vs. HW Performance for Layered Windows
Seema has a good post explaining why software rendering is sometimes faster than hardware rendering for layered windows. In short, your software vs. hardware performance will depend on your specific video card. Seema suggests:
Key takeaway: a semi-transparent window is a particularly complex feature for WPF’s rendering system. Figure out early what type of hardware that you expect your app to run on, the performance that is acceptable for your users, and whether you want to use Window transparency.
Clearification
My friend and co-worker Hamid just pointed me to Clearification.com, a very interesting new joint project from the Windows Vista team and Demetri Martin. It hosts a series of episodes that tell the story of Demetri’s “condition,” and presumably how he overcomes it. Only the first episode is available now, but the others are all “coming soon.” The site publishes a feed so that you can keep up to date on new additions, and of course, so that you can watch those new episodes as soon as they are posted. It seems pretty cool so far, I’d definitely recommend checking it out.
