    If you want to place a window at a specific place in WPF, it will work pretty much as you expect—unless your DPI is 120 (the default is 96). Here’s a sample that shows how to put it where you want. In this case, I want to put a window just under...

    Over in my flickr account, I’ve posted a picture of  part of the destruction of the LEGO shuttle. I just wanted to show the amount of tiles used in the project—it was a lot, but I didn’t count. The shuttle is sadly no more, but new project...
