Maxima. Nice book with many examples of how to use Maxima. Since the Schockwellenreiter just wrote about Maxima again and I liked the wxMaxima interface in his post quite a bit (and unlike some other programs, it also looks good on OSX), I will probably play around with it a bit. Especially since it is much slimmer than Sage (even if it of course can do much more, as it integrates many other math packages).

JQuery Form Wizard. Interesting small plugin that processes complex forms through steps - and the routes through the form can depend on the data chosen in a previous step. Additionally, #-hacks are used to make the form steps appear in the history (in this form, this is absolutely fine in my opinion).
josevalim/elixir is a programming language for the Erlang environment and its virtual machine, which integrates into the Erlang environment and has a similar focus as Erlang. However, Elixir provides a Ruby-like syntax and some interesting extensions as well as, of course, interoperability with Erlang code (otherwise it wouldn't make sense, because Erlang is not just the rather strange language, but above all the server structure and the libraries).
HTC Desire wont be getting an official Gingerbread update. Of course, Android is so great, but device manufacturers ruin it with their useless extensions and deliver devices with too little equipment, so that new system releases stay out. If I really switch to Android, it will probably only be one that is directly supplied by Google, then at least I don't have to deal with such nonsense like Sense (or be blocked from new system releases by its forced installation). Yes, I know, I can root and rom - but that's just as much of a non-argument for me as jailbreak on iOS devices.
