Design with Silverlight

Just wanted to take a moment and talk about a recent project I did that went live earlier this week in conjunction with the PDC conference.

Modelsremixed.com is a Silverlight-based site that supports Microsoft's "Oslo". You can learn more about "Oslo" on the site. All of the animations were done by hand in Blend. There's a couple of things I love about the site. The design is simple - super clean, but looks cool and doesn't get in the way. The other aspect of the site I love is the video section. This is the most complete video player I've authored to date. It combines 4 streaming sources and one progressive download. Corey Schuman's video slider saved me a ton of time (I still remember the first one I wrote in Silverlight 1 - no comparison). All of the controls have tooltips, and the video player includes an embeddable version and integrated sharing options (Digg, Del.icio.us, etc.).

Check it out and let me know what you think.
