Well, this is my first real blog.  Not really much to say at the moment.  I have a great idea for lightMind.NET and I will post more details about it soon.  This is going to be mostly a technical blog, leaning towards my new found love of all things .NET especially ASP.NET and related technologies.

A little about myself:  I am coming from a PHP/Flash background and jumping feet first into ASP.NET and Silverlight.  I have been developing websites and web-based applications for my employer for over 7 years now.  I finished a pretty big application a couple months ago which manages all of our customer information(a CRM app).  I learned a lot developing that application but I learned a lot more about how much I need to formalize my development habits and start using some of the great tools that are available.  I have been putting together a .NET toolbox to help me start off on the right foot:

I am also extremely interested in XNA and development for the Xbox 360, so I am sure I will have various ramblings about that as well.
