Ultimate Ears: The best earphones in the world

I splashed out a little a couple of weeks ago and ordered some Ultimate Ears UE-5c 's. They arrived on Friday and they are nothing short of brilliant. Imagine sitting in a sound booth with really good sound isolation and really nice dual-driver speakers.

Extreme Programming Explained: 2nd edition

Recently I noticed that Kent Beck had released the 2nd edition of one of my favourite IT books (along with PEAA ). I wasn't sure how much of it was new or if the changes would be worthy of the purchase. My good friend, and agile guru, Steve Hayes is excited

My New Obsession: The Humble Weather Report

Ever since I got to Fargo I have been fascinated by the weather. I have never lived in a place where I had anything more than an overnight frost, even in the dead of winter. I find it funny that even though it has snowed a couple of times already, everyone
