.NET, Part Whatever

I'm once again exploring the .NET world. This time, I came up with a single project for learning web forms, Winforms, web services, and a PDA. It could even spill over to Office integration. First up is web forms, since this is primarily a web app. I'm working through the book, "MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced Training Kit: Developing Web Applications with Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual C#® .NET". This book covers alot of territory and should at least get me started. Yes, I am aware that there are MAJOR changes coming in ASP.net 2.0. I'll deal with that when the time comes. I'll post information on the project when it actually starts (about two weekds from now) and give you updates on how it is progressing and what I'm learning from it.

SuperAds

Wanna see you favorite superbowl ad again? See them all here. My favorites, in no particular order..

- GoDaddy.com, Strapless (see more about Go Daddy below)
- Diet Pepsi, Ladies man (I laughed so hard when Carson checked out the guy)
- Bud Light, Parachuting
- Anheiser Busch, Thanking the Troops (what a GREAT ad)
- Mastercard, Mascots

Second place (ads that make me chuckle, but don't rank in the top)
- Bud Light, Cedric the Entertainer
- Ameriquest, both ads
- Careerbuilder.com, all three ads...the best of the three was the one where the chimp photocopied his butt. Note to Careerbuilder..Chimps are not monkeys.
- Emerald Nuts
- Fed Ex
- Pizza Hut, It's the Muppet Show

Lame (ads that were a HUGE waste of money)
- Cadillac, 0-60 in 5 Seconds
- Honda Truck, Can you say UGLY vehicle
- McDonalds, Lincoln Fry
- Degree for Men
- Napster, both ads
- Pepsi, all the iTunes ads

It seems that the GoDaddy ad ranked highest for viewers...and the NFL yanked the second run of the ad (details here). Now, I've used GoDaddy for years. The ad pushed their domain registration, which is cheap. However, their hosting service SUCKS.
