Wow, this is cool, I just discovered through examining my referrers that Mehran Nikoo has a blog as well. This is great timing as I was just thinking 'I wish Mehran had a blog'.  Subscribed.   

Mehran is a switched on developer (he's taking holidays in order to come to the PDC, there's someone who knows who's managing his career!) who gave a great presentation on SOA (where are the slides Mehran?).  Mehran and his colleague Edward have written a number of good articles on developement on their company's site. 

He's also volunteered to provide a location where we can meet up and discuss the GoF Design Patterns in .NET (I know it's old school now that SOA is in favour, but they're still important within the right locations).  As he says, if you're in London and want to be involved, send us an email
