I can't wait for the next CTP of Orcas to drop since it supposed to have feature parity with the ancient May 2006 LINQ Preview I'm still using.

• Mike has a nice post where he looks to Deconstruct LINQ.  I often find posts like Mike's, where the author is letting what they've learned flow out in a post, the most beneficial.
• Alex is considering a couple implementations of IQueryable, which he is calling LINQ to Web, that sound very useful.  I've been thinking about writing an implementation of LINQ to Google or LINQ to Live Search myself.  I have a feeling that a bunch of what Alex is after in LINQ to DOM could be handled with a couple extensions on top of LINQ to XML.
• There is a new video on Channel 9 with Anders Hejlsberg, Herb Sutter, Erik Meijer, Brian Beckman that is bound to be full of interesting topics.  I've been having some iPod video troubles lately and can't seem to find a good WMV to iPod Video Converter that runs on a Mac.  I should probably just do the video conversion in Parallels...ok started...can't wait to check it out.
