A few weeks ago, I was creating a WPF application. It had been a while and I've become unfamiliar with the UI resources that are out there. I am, however, a huge fan of Font Awesome. With a little quick wizardry, I was able to generate a resource dictionary that defined text block styles for each of the Font Awesome icons.

I recently picked up F1 2013 on sale through Steam. I haven't played any of the previous games in the F1 series, but I'm very impressed with the graphics and gameplay of 2013. One important note: it's hard. I mean, really hard.

I've finally decided to give this site a little love, but in a very unexpected way. I decided to remake it in Jekyll. From now on, it's going to be fast and lean … at least until I muster up enough energy to make the whole thing a SPA.

So … this chopper thing happened. I guess they couldn't get a crane over fast enough.

As helpful as it was, WinRT lacks the ability to supply a string format, although it appears as though WPF still supports it in .NET 4.5. String format is extremely useful, allowing you to provide a format pattern in your Xaml and not have to jump through hoops.
