This is a more refined listing of the links I like from the rough cut published earlier.  I'm sort of playing with the format, so it may change ...

Mads Kristensen - Create better experiences for your visitors - Mads is continuing to work on new widgets and extensions to the BlogEngine.net (this blog post is about identifying users without having them login) ... which I think is very cool, both from an architecture point and from a useful web technology that could be modeled in other web applications point.

Fredrik Normen - Who's to blame, Microsoft and/or the .Net Community  - interesting post on the need for more focus on best practices when writing about technology - points I agree with.  Sometimes I think it is disappointing when you read something that is suppose to be teaching the correct way to do something (the reader doesn't yet know how to do) and the author leaves out the 'irrelevant' stuff - which the reader will need to learn somewhere else (most common with exception handling - BTW: where do you learn best practices for exception handling?).

Ayende Rahien - Multi Tenancy - Approaches and Applicability - Oren continues his analysis of Mult Tenancy - a topic that seems most people don't really discuss.  It is nice to see these detailed posts on topics that aren't usually written about by someone who writes well and had quite a depth of technical knowledge.

Michael Giagnocavo - Typing string IDs - nice entry with some code you might be able to use or learn from if you use string id's in your applications.

Greg Duncan - "Cool C# sample that's probably on your hard drive yet you may have never seen" of the day - ObjectDumper.CS - I'm not sure how many blogs Greg subscribes to or where he finds all his interesting topics from, but he certainly finds some good stuff.  This link he points to in this entry is by Eric White, which details the functionality of a sample that is installed with VS.Net 9.0.  Looks like I should check this sample out.

azamsharp - Creating Validation Engine for Domain Objects - I always find these types of thing interesting - mainly due to it being a common scenario most developers face (business rule validation in this case) and very few best practices or patterns seem to be written about.  The implementation in this article is similar to the CSLA, but more on the lighter side of things.

Jan Van Ryswyck - My New Home Developer Rig - specs for his new machine.  I like these types of posts just to keep track of where my machine compares to others and to help me in deciding what I should look for in my next machine.

Raymond Chen - The implementation of iterators in C# and its consequences (part 4) - iterators are something I know I need to learn better - so if you are like me an know you need to learn more, you should check out Raymond's entry ... I also need to get a better understanding (via Reflector) of what the compiler does with them.

Scott Reynolds - Binding Complex Types to WinForms TreeView with Extension Methods and Generics - this entry looks to be a good .Net 3.5 example that can help when you need to bind more than just text to a TreeView.

Stephen Walther - ASP.NET MVC Application Building #2: Family Video Website – Add the Database - I like Stephen's writing style and the way he walks you through simple but practical samples.  I haven't played with MVC applications yet - but I keep track of his stuff so when I actually get some free time to do so I'll know where to look.

Dion Almaer - Custom events as API end points for key bindings and more - very cool and useful code for handling and creating custom events in javascript.

Rich Strahl - Monitoring Html Element CSS Changes in JavaScript - In this entry, Rick provides some javascript that will allow you to monitor css properties for changes.

Greg Duncan - SSDS SDK Released (Beta) - another great find by Greg.  Nice to see they have now released some tools to help with the admin functionality and debugging with using the SSDS.

Soumitra Sengupta - On going quiet and transparency in the design process - a couple of interesting things in this short entry: "SQL Server Data Services is only one part of a very broad and deep services initiative which will only come to full light at the upcoming PDC." and the other has to do with transparency in the design process - which is always difficult to balance with getting the thing done (unless you have specific people on the team to help).

Matthew Deacon and Dr. Steven Moxey - Software as a Service as a Disruptive Technology - this is a link to a 20 page study by Manchester Business School and Microsoft on Software as a Service (SaaS) and its potential to be a disruptive technology for ISVs in the UK.  So far I've only read the executive summary, but it looks like it is worth a read.

David Chappell - A Short Introduction to Cloud Platforms - this is a short blog entry pointing at a paper Mr. Chappell just wrote titled "A Short Introduction to Cloud Platforms: An Enterprise-Oriented View".  The paper is 13 pages long and looks to be a pretty good introduction to cloud computing and the different platforms that are out there (heavy on the Microsoft view point ... after all it was sponsored by Microsoft).  I put it on my worth a read during downtime list.

Be Excellent - Execution - And Building A Learning Organization - this entry discusses an article from the Harvard Business Review by Amy C. Edmondson titled "The Competitive Imperative of Learning" ... which seems to only have one free page on the hbr site.  A quote from the Be Excellent blog to let you know what the article is about (and maybe go by the HBR issue):

These companies also employ four distinct approaches to day-to-day work:

1. They use the best available knowledge (which is understood to be a moving target) to inform the design of specific process guidelines.
2. They encourage employee collaboration by making information available when and where it’s needed.
3. They routinely capture data on processes to discover how work really happens.
4. Finally, they study these data in an effort to find ways to improve execution.

Freelance Switch - 7 Reasons Why You Should Pursue Your Own Projects - as with a lot of articles on the FreelanceSwitch.com site, this listing seems to just make good career sense.

Ben Casnocha - Advice is a Form of Nostalgia - remember that song of advice titled "Wear sunscreen"?  Ben points to a blog entry about the commencement talk it actually came from ... hmm didn't know it was an actual commencement speech.

Rich - Five Things To Know About Finding Work You Love - a somewhat motivational entry for me ... I think most of us need a reminder of what it is like to really love what you do ... and if you don't you should find it.

Alvin Ashcraft - Dew Drop - August 16, 2008 and Dew Drop - August 15, 2008 - always at least a handful or two of things I haven't seen.

Arjan Zuidhof - LINKBLOG for August 16, 2008 and LINKBLOG for August 15, 2008 - Arjan also seems to finds some links that I don't find.

Rhonda Tipton - Weekly Link Post 55 - Rhonda's once a week link post seems to have the majority of the greatest hits for the week and always a few new people I've not heard of before.

Sam Gentile - New and Notable 265 - nice to see Sam back posting links that he likes.
