Extreme Programming Pocket Guide

First to recommend

Description

This is an extreme approach to an Extreme Programming book. You can read it cover-to-cover in a day and, if you're already convinced you want to adopt XP, this book provides just enough information to get you started.

If you don't yet believe in XP, this will at least give you some ideas to think about.

Digital Camera Pouch

First to recommend

Description

A pouch like this -- with a velcro closure for quick removal no matter how thick your gloves -- is the best way to get shots when you're in the snow. Just attach it to your sternum strap, pull your camera out and replace it in seconds.

Even though its lousy buffering algorithm causes periodic glitches, hulu is as addictive as regular TV.

Description

It's difficult to spread, but that's OK because it tastes so good it needs no jelly. Use the time you saved to spread more PB.

Notorious: Alfred Hitchcock

2 people recommended this item

Description

Alfred Hitchcock is so ahead of his time that this movie feels like it could have been released last week. But of course the point of view is 63+ years old, and it's fascinating to think about how the world has changed since then -- and how it hasn't.

Plus, it's just a really entertaining film. The atmosphere, the style, the classic actors and a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Lucky Louie - The Complete First Season

First to recommend

Description

This was my favorite show until it went off the air. Many sitcoms work by tweaking the family paradigm. This one just tweaks it somehow differently.

Nokia N900

First to recommend

Description

I'm glad my android phone is not on contract. Compared with the G1, my n800 was faster, offered more app development options, and more stable (until, er, it bricked in a "I have to send it back to the factory" kinda way).

Now Nokia has come up with the bright idea of putting a phone in this phone-sized device. I can't wait. (via ars technica)
