DevDave (Dave Relyea) is a dev lead on the Silverlight team.  He just blogged a really slick new animating wrap panel.  Read about it here and try out the sample app below.

There are a bunch of different “interpolations” that you can choose from, including “back”, “elastic”, and “bounce.”

I’ve updated my FlickrViewr to use this animating wrap panel with the “elastic” option.  In my totally unbiased opinion, it looks pretty hot.  Though, as Dave pointed out, “elastic” is a bit much for a “real world” application – for a more sane UI, try “back” interpolation.

… credit card, that is.

Just noticed that flickr has partnered with CapitolOne.  You can now put your own photos from flickr on your credit card. 

It’s a pretty genius idea – one of the reasons I like my current credit card is that it has a picture of Stanford on it.  And whenever I use it, it reminds me of my college days, friends I made there, experiences I had, etc.  The warm fuzzy usually only lasts about 2 seconds, but I like it enough that it’s a disincentive to change credit card companies.

Anyways, smart marketing move.  Nice one, Flickr & Capitol One!

Just a note to say I’ve updated my FlickrViewr for Silverlight Beta2.  (All of the controls now use VisualStateManager, too!)

Enjoy!
