Busy day ahead, need to get a few new views completed and tie in code coverage to the solution(something that has been on my todo list for awhile).  Also have a skype call this afternoon with the tech group in New Zealand … what what I do without skype?

Found a lot of interesting links to look at this morning.  Sara Ford’s PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2010 reminds me that I’ve been pretty happy with the Productivity Power Tools adding and need to explore more of what’s out there.
