At one point I was wandering through Akihabara (the famous electronics district) and on the sixth floor of LAOX, wandered into their technical book section.

Nice to see Web 2.0 is just as much in fashion over there (if not more so):

They had a full section of Japanese .NET books. 

I've been learning written Japanese lately - I'm still spectacularly bad at it, but curious to see how well I could understand a technical book, I grab one - and the first one I grab turns out to be written by Interface's very own Dan Wahlin:

There's something just very groovy about that.

WPF/E Mouse Tracking (WPF/E Required)

This is a bit more involved than the Egg Timer, as it incorporates ASP.NET AJAX PageMethod calls to save (and retrieve) mouse tracking information (for multiple visitors) - it's hopefully quite simple to understand.

Hit "record", record a few seconds of your own mouse movements, and that's it. Then hit "play", and watch your wonderful handiwork replay itself.

I've got a few more places I want to take this, but thought I'd throw it up there and see how it works out.

Well, after a while you get sick of "Hello World" for your first applications.

I thought I'd make my Silverlight learning experience public, so if you have Silverlight installed, take a look. I wanted a two-minute timer for all my GTD "less than two minute" tasks, so I wrote one.
