Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager - since I was stupid enough to create a photo book on a different Mac than usual (well, the usual one was always busy), I guess I have to check this out to see if I can merge my books onto a single machine. It's a shame that Apple doesn't offer any merge function in iPhoto. With a notebook and a desktop, you quickly end up with separate libraries. If Lightroom supported book printing, I would have left iPhoto long ago. It's all a bit unsatisfactory.

Interactive Fabrication » Beautiful Modeler - wow, that is exceptionally cool.

The V4Z80P – A Z80 Based Laptop @ Retroleum - someone not only builds their own computer with their own system, but it's also a laptop. Or something similar, at least.

Tornado Web Server Documentation - I should really take a closer look at Tornado. I just built a web service for a side project using web.py, which was surprisingly simple (and dirty). Tornado is based on a very similar concept, throws in Django-like templates, and also offers a good asynchronous server and support for asynchronous sockets and HTTP requests. Could be a good alternative for web services that require few resources.
