Questions And Answers On Blogging For A Living

Michelle Obama’s inaugural dresses?

I asked for opinions on her yellowish-greenish-pukish colored dress this morning, but what do you think about her inaugural ball dress?

It reminds me a lot of the Swan dress Bjork wore to the Oscars:

Nothing she wears flatters her at all and all I hear about is how stylish she is. Jackie Kennedy she is not! She could do so much better! What are your thoughts?

(And I know this has nothing to do with her as as person. That’s not what I’m addressing here, so no angry comments concerning that please)
I do agree that Mrs. Biden’s was ugly too. Looked like a 17-year-old girl should’ve been wearing it, especially the boots.

Shouldn’t the Far Left Democrat Charles Rangel be in jail by now for ripping America off for 17 years?

The House ethics committee has recommended censure for Representative Charles B. Rangel for ethics violations. The vote was 9 to 1.

The committee’s decision marked a stunning rebuke to the 20-term congressman, diminishing his stature even as, in his final statement to the committee, he pleaded that it make clear in its final decision that he had not done anything to disgrace Congress or enrich himself, and had not been corrupt

What is the best .NET framework to showcase development skills?

Just wondering what everyone would consider the best framework on .net to use to showcase one’s development skills? It appears as though developers like to talk the talk and sometime walk the walk when it comes to promoting themselves online. I would like to showcase my mad programming skillz while also promoting myself through the use of a blogging engine / live examples / demos of my abilities. I started off with a simple ajax asp.net website..then I moved over to wordpress, which is fine and seems to be the standard for development blogs but its all done in php so again seems kind of lacking with the integrity issue. “I am a .net developer I should be using a .net framework to sell myself.” So then I wasthinking of MVC2 but then again for the purposes of simply blogging and promoting do I really need an mvc2 app? Seems to be more geared towards data intense projects than a simple online profile. Anyone have any suggestions? I want my online presence to be *WOW*
