Why reinvent the wheel every time you need to lay out a webpage in CSS. This is a great starting point. Based on work from Eric Meyer and the Typogrify project. Looks easy to get some basic stuff done.

Pretty cool game console for children, it uses RFID and audio.

It all sounds so easy: designing interaction is about three question: how people act? how people feel? and how people understand? Short, sweet and simple video of Verplank talking and drawing a supporting picture at the same time.

This website hosts some excellent information about what is going on with the credit crisis. Espcially the first audio link (or the transcript) gives a very comprehensive background on the problems from mainstreet to wallstreet. This thin is just all a bunch of vaporware…

Predicting the future is in my opinion not the best way to go: be prepared for unpredicted events and make sure your endeavours are robust for different scenarios. I like this article though.

Great idea for the nomadic worker: find a place on the map and drop by to work a day or a few hours. Should be very refreshing to do so, and inspiring to meet new people. Great way to finish a report.

Nowadays in the design of services it is good to know about the technicalities and the softer user necessities. I'm definitely going to read some of the course material (see link at the bottom).

Easy website to keep in mind, finds rare or out-of-print books from a wide variety of online shops, either new or used. The great thing is that it compares total prices, that way you can see quickly what ordering will cost.

There has been a new controversy about the good and bad of REST architectures. This article gives a nice (historical) overview of the discussion around REST and SOAP. Also it shows some of the benefits, and reasons why people has been coming back from SOAP.
