I’ve had some ideas for a more, let’s say, “animated” web site, but frankly large-scale Javascript development is tiresome and the thought of delving into Adobe Flash or Flex or AIR or whatever they call it now is too depressing to contemplate. With the release of Silverlight 3, I figured it was a good time to take a hard look at the Silverlight platform to see what it can do.

Naturally, a day later, I learn that there's no elegant way of displaying richly formatted text in a Silverlight app. Sigh.
