There's been many lists circulated, but as they age their dead-link ratio seems to increase on a curve.
Here's the current guide list that is actually from a semi-official source this time. Lot's of cool stuff on here that I had no idea about, although it's too bad they've "rolled-up" some stuff (for example, all the MS Research downloads just get one link to the main MSR page... wouldn't even know about cool stuff like Pex and AutoCollage if you don't go visit the site).

So I've jumped onto the Twitter bandwagon... at least for a little trial run. Kind of seems cool that I can slap something out super quick from my cellphone where ever I may be.
Of course, I needed a cool and non-standard way of displaying my tweets on the kick board. So now you should see my last 20 twitters as post-it notes at the bottom on the whiteboard. Random positions and colors, so hit refresh it you want cheap entertainment. Mouse over to see the tweet text, or click to open the tweet in a new window.
Kind of cool technologies at play, including my first real use of JSON, but I'll post about that another time.

Just wanted everyone to know that
StackOverflow.com launched last week as a great new resource that will be a great tool for the development community.
What is it? It's a programming Q&A site much like
Experts-Exchange but without all the "stuff" that slows you down, and it's completely free. Fully embracing the participatory web 2.0 technologies and the "Culture of Generousity", I believe they've created a site that will thrive in the community and raise itself above the "noise".
When it comes to technologies, here's how they describe the ideal utopia that've tried to create:
I don't know yet if they've hit this ideal, but I can certainly appreciate them for trying! Check it out today:
