Coding4Fun is LIVE! - A new syndicated MSDN Column
I can finally tell my little secret. I'm a part of the new Coding4Fun site that was launched as a part of Beta2 today.
Coding4Fun is a new .NET 2.0-focused hobbyist site with a number of great syndicated columns including ones on creating games, web development, XML and my new column on interfacing with hardware called Some Assembly Required. (It's a triple play on words if you think for a sec)
My first article is on interfacing a CrystalFontz USB LCD Display to Windows Media Player or iTunes using .NET 2.0.
There's a lot of great code up there now, and lots more coming. I'm pretty impressed with the 'Express' SKUs for Visual Studio, and I hope they will inspire more hobbyist developers to jump in and enjoy.
Updated: Here's an RSS Feed.

The content looks good though.
One thing I noticed is that you obviously use the same test that I do when playing with new stuff: 'What does "Hello World" do?' ;-)
I've always wanted an LCD in the rear window of the car, scrolling "Turn your foglights off, you moron". Perhaps now is the time to invest in a wide LCD display and a more thorough reading of your first article!
cool stuff, keep up the good work.
Oh, and just for good measure - please get them to add an RSS feed :-)
- An RSS feed for all articles on the site
- An RSS feed for each individual column
Sorry for the inconvenience,

Now, where are the per category RSS feeds? (ducking and running)
The LCD article is really nice...Once I have VS 2005 downloaded from MSDN (its slow!), and have that LCD (Btw, those are costly! 60-80$), I should be all set.
Noticed, the download link is broken. Any ideas when will MS start hosting those samples on the same site? (or maybe you can post a link in the blog?)
Keep 'em coming!
Thanks

Woohoo I am off to coding (err, copying the code first and running ;) )

In case you didn't notice, the RSS feed is available from off the main page now.

Sorry this didn't make the initial launch - it has been in our plan all along, honest. :-)
Thanks for checking out the site!

There is a problem reading the left column of news on the front page though, the text gets clipped off.
