I whish everybody the best of luck and congatulations!!
On the facebook website of the Dare to Dream Different contest I put in a message asking people to publish their video’s. I’d like to see video’s posted, not only to see what kind of chance I make entering the next round but also for the community. Exposure of the .NET Micro Framework will help to gather new entousiasts!
So don’t be affraid and show your cool idea!
In the mean time, Ian Lee, Sr. has posted his video on his website! It’s an Electric Dog fence using the Tahoe II and Xbee. The video is realy great and you can see Ian is a real lover of LED lights 
You can find his video on:

So let your dogs out! 
Update:
More people have put their movie on the web, Valter Minute, James Y Wilson, David Vescovi and even someone of the profession catagory: Jean Michel
Whoohoo! I was positively surprised when the winners of round 1 where announced on the “Dare to Dream Different” challenge website. My name was on the list!
Next step is to start working on a prototype and a video of my idea.. I read trough the rules of the contest and I think I’m allowed to post information and source on my website so you can follow it’s progress!
