I've been creating a few extension methods here and there recently and figured I'd share one of the ones I'm using in a lot of places. This one is an extension method named Append that you can use with a generic IDictionary implementor to do quick-and-dirty creations of the object. I&#... [More]

My search is over. The best part was that I not only secured a position, but that I secured a position with a company for whom I've had a great amount of respect for the past few years.

A few days ago a collegaue of mine blogged about performing DI on the cheap. His post got me to thinking about the various IoC containers and DI frameworks that have sprung up (no pun intended, sorry for that heinous attempt at geek humor). As I've been working through the Social Timeline arch... [More]
