Shoe Circus vs. New Family

Well I watched Shoe Circus earlier this week, and I must admit I didn't get it all, despite being a Seinfeld fan. I watched New Family this morning though and it was excellent! If you're a fan of either Bill Gates or Jerry Seinfeld, check them out.

Winforms JS Minifyer

For Tech Ed recently I did a talk on ASP.NET performance and scalability, and one of the topics we discussed was minifying JavaScript, which basically means getting rid of all of the comments, whitespace, etc. There are a couple of tools out there that do this, probably the most popular of which is Douglas Crockford's JSMin. The only problem is that it's a console app (which is great for automated builds, but not as good for demo'ing on stage). So, I wrote a small winforms wrapper around JSMin, which you can download here: Visual JavaScript Minifier.

In case you're still now sure what it is, here's a screenshot:
