Other People's Stuff #02 - Weekend Edition

WTF

• Hello Kitty Fire Extinguisher
  
  I'm trying to picture the fire fighter that would be carrying this around.


• Largest Toy Collection
  
  WOW. Didn't see any Transformers though.

Useful

• ObjectGraph Dictionary
  
  Awesome AJAX-driven dictionary - no server round-trips to do a lookup. Probably not as detailed as Merriam-Webster Online or whatnot.

• MS Office Tip: Remove Formatting and Paste - Lifehacker
  
  Probably handy if you've ever been annoyed at Word's tendency to just paste things in a non-conformant way to the rest of your document.

Self-help

• How to pick up women - LifeHut
  
  I'm not but this is more for those who have narrowly missed those one-night stands...=)

Entertainment

• Family Guy presents Stewie Live
  
  This is a sweet bit of work (if it ever comes back up) that was based off of the Burger King "Subservient Chicken" viral going around...


• Bait (via Greg Bruns)

Career

• Creating Passionate Users: Subvert from Within: a user-focused employee guide
  
  A guide to get your company a little more focused on pleasing your customers, even if they don't originally want to. =)
  

Development

• Chris_Pratley's OneNote WebLog : OneNote PowerToys Redux
  
  More toys for OneNote. Ah, when I get a tablet...


• tecosystems: Does the Desktop Matter?
  
  Has the desktop become irrelevant with the era of the web app?


• The Myth of Perfect Web Design
  
  Pretty short and insightful article about trying to achieve "perfection" in web design. I've certainly been there before.
  


• Aspect Oriented Programming
  
  I keep meaning to read more about this but the other 700 things to read get in the way...;)


• Visual Basic Developer Center: Migrating from ADO "Classic" to ADO.NET
  
  One for the old schoolers out there, though I shudder to think of who is trapped at a company using VB6!


• IanG on Tap: C# 3.0 - Var Isn't Object

"...there has been a lot of commentary, much of which is untainted by such prosaic concerns as bothering to check the facts before ranting." =)
