Rocket Surgery Made Easy

With an endorsement like this from Joel Spolsky himself, I'd be hard pressed to find a legitimate reason not to buy this book. Especially since my company (http://www.meetingsense.com) is moving into a usability phase right now...
in reference to:

"Steve Krug has written a follow up to his usability classic Don’t Make Me Think. The sequel, Rocket Surgery Made Easy, is a terrific, short, concise, fun guide to running simple “hallway” usability tests to improve the usability of your software and websites. Highly recommended."

Where it all started...

For some time now I've been interested in fitness and healthy eating. Being a surfer and fan of Laird's (putting it mildly...) I finally picked up his book. It was just the kick in the ass I needed to really dial in my nutrition and get serious about my fitness. I highly recommend this book to anyone that's interested in living a full life. It's a quick read and a lot of what he says, including his outlook on life, just makes sense.

Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham City Jail

Remarkable letter from an even more remarkable man. I share Tim's thoughts on how skillfully he acknowledged then deconstructed each of the points brought up by the clergymen...
in reference to:

"The verbal techniques, such as accepting the validity of emotions and arguments before deconstructing them, can be applied to almost all conflicts, whether in the boardroom, bedroom, or political battlefield."

Primal Blueprint - Big Ass Salad

Mark Sisson shows how to make his 2 minute salad in a video. While it doesn't show the prep time it takes to cut the veggies up and have them immediately available... it does look damn tasty.
