Echominder is even cooler than I thought!

A while back I wrote about Echominder from Intuit Labs, and I discovered a really cool feature that I didn't even know was in there...

Not only does echominder call you when you want it to, it also keeps a queue of your reminders on the website, and you can re-remind yourself by telling it to send you a particular message at a specific time (again).

Previously I was under the impression that the messaging was just a one-time event. Turns out I was wrong (and can't read documentation)! Awesome!

Kaxaml - Great Lightweight XAML Editor

So after checking out some of the WPF Bootcamp sessions at MIX08, I decided to install and try out Kaxaml...

Kaxaml

...and it's great! It's really nice to be able to try out the default snippets that are in the tool, and then to be able to grab XAML code blocks off the web and try them out on-the-fly without having to create a Visual Studio 2008 project - which is just too time consuming to try stuff out.

A very nice, and in my opinion, agile development tool!
