Thaks for the article and the shout out! Note that GalaSoft is not a firm, it is more of a concept in which I place all my freetime projects. I am employed by IdentityMine (www.identitymine.com), an awesome user experience and development firm specializing in WPF, Silverlight, Microsoft Surface and Windows Phone 7 application.

Cheers!
Laurent
