Adobe Flash and Flex Programming( 3 items )
Articles on Adobe's Flash and Flex technology. I have been using Flash since it was still called "FutureSplash" and I'm just starting to get my feet wet with Flex since it seems that many of the new Flash jobs out there require experience with Flex. Hopefully the online Flex docs will turn out to be less of an abomination than the online Flash docs have been for the past 10 years. Do I sound bitter? Hey, I still love Flash, I'm just saying that compared to the online PHP docs, they are practically useless. I will document my Flex studies here in hopes that it will be beneficial to other Flash pros who are making the switch to Flex and AS3.

This is by far the most comprehensive and entertaining documentary I have ever seen regarding the early BBS system. If you're serious about knowing your internet history, or you just want some extra geek-cred, this is your new favorite documentary.
The Nada Chair "BackUp"
The best alternative I have found to overpriced ergonomic office chairs, especially for very low pain around the sacral joint. Works better than my Aeron chair ever did. Also, it comes in navy blue and black, in case you're not into the whole pregnant woman aesthetic (pictured).It's really not meant for sitting on the floor, it's really better for seats that offer poor back support, and works great at sporting events to make sitting in bleachers much more comfortable.
Antec Quiet PC Case
At just under $120 including a 500 Watt power supply, this "quiet pc" case has worked great for me for over 2 years. In fact I now own two great Antec cases/PSUs. For the money, it's hard to beat this combination.
