Super-tiny sculpture

Top gear continues to rock my socks off

This is one of the best car reviews in recent memory.  People always complain about Top gear not reviewing 'reasonable' cars - and this is what happens - great TV (or internet video depending on your preferred viewing choice)

Top Gear - Ford Fiesta Review

No embedding of the video, youtube videos get taken down so quickly nowadays.

An actual blog post

I was talking to my friend last night about a bunch of developer/software blogs that i read fairly often now and figured it would work well as a blog post as well (sorry, no humorous videos in this one...).  Below is the jest of my email:

Here are a couple posts/blogs that i was talking about.  Not sure if you'll get time to read them but i find them interesting.

joel on software - this guy writes really well and, from what i've read so far, he gives me hope that my dream of doing this kind of thing can work.  

Example:

Coding Horror - Jeff Atwood: another software guy that writes pretty prolifically.  He and Joel (the guy above) have a website that they recently released called http://stackoverflow.com/

Example:
Plenty of fish (i mentioned this last night): http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001195.html

Another company doing the kinds of things that make me happy: http://www.37signals.com/svn/
