I am attending Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) in NYC this week-end, and have just spent time with this volume. Unlike the individual issues, all of which I have had in my possession over the years, this volume is HUGE, readable, indexed, and priceless. I mean that--PRICELESS. The publisher is to be saluted for not only putting a great deal of effort along with the editor, the founder of 2600 ...             Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Better15 reviews Gina Trapani Wiley, 2008 The second edition is just as good as the first... I remember reading the first edition of Gina Trapani's Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Better and thinking how wonderful it was. Of course, when the second edition came out, I had to get that one too. And as with the first one, I have all sorts of post-it notes scattered throughout the book for reference and "go back and try this" notes. Well worth the time ...             Hack the SAT: Strategies and Sneaky Shortcuts That Can Raise Your Score Hundreds of Points11 reviews Eliot Schrefer Gotham, 2008 CLEAR AND SMART!!!!

Schrefer shows the SAT test for what it is, an exam that every student can do well on if given the proper preparation and reassurance. CONGRATULATIONS, MR. SCHREFER ON ...             Hacking World of Warcraft (ExtremeTech)27 reviews Daniel Gilbert, James, II Whitehead Wiley, 2007 Dated - but still terrific!!! By its very nature, this sort of material is dated by the time it can go to press. That being said, the authors have done an exemplary job of providing material that covers lasting principles, and not specifics that will be immediately invalidated. In addition, supporting material on-line is fresh and regularly updated. A solid 5 stars!             The Complete User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle (Take advantage of this terrific price to get the most ...98 reviews Harvard Perspectives Press (hppress.blogspot.com), 2007 Excellant book on the Kindle Author provides simple instructions which will help you learn all that our mighty Kindle can do.

Anderson Tor Books, 2008 the old magic is back! The book is a most read! They brought back the reading style that made all the other dune books great! I also liked the way the book jumped between the two time periods. They worked well together.             Windows Vista Annoyances: Tips, Secrets, and Hacks11 reviews David A. Karp O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 An absolute "must have" if you're going to live with Vista...

Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals for Kids The kids love to make recipes from this cookbook. It is great that the recipes are separated by age groups (for difficulty). The recipes are pretty good, too. I like that it has a spiral binding inside the hard cover.             Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats--A Year of Deliciously Different Dinners (A 30-Minute Meal Cookbook)336 reviews Rachael Ray Clarkson Potter, 2005 Great cookbook I have picky kids and with a new baby it's easy to find meals that are planned out so easily and quick. Great book!!             The CSS Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks52 reviews Rachel Andrew SitePoint, 2007 Truly "Essential" If You've Not Been Around the Block A Hundred Times CSS is difficult to master, and most who have have done so over a period of years, through trial and error, and from picking up tips one by one from the community of practitioners. Rachel Andrew's CSS Anthology doesn't offer much for the CSS veterans (I found only 1 tip I didn't know), but it's is absolutely full of all the good stuff that we CSS authors treasure and, of course, USE on a daily ...             Hacking Ubuntu: Serious Hacks Mods and Customizations (ExtremeTech)12 reviews Neal Krawetz Wiley, 2007 One of the most useful Linux books I own This book is a gem. Most other Linux books are heavy with theory but don't get you where you need to go. By contrast, this book is chock full of really practical mods (hacks) that are easy to do, yet provide great enhancements to the usability and security of your new Ubuntu system. If you're new to Ubuntu, get this book!             Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things: How to Turn a Penny into a Radio, Make a Flood Alarm with an Aspirin, Change ...20 reviews Cy Tymony Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2003 Silly Rabbit! This book is for kids! Just in case you didn't understand, let me say at the outset, this book was written and is obviously intended for kids. Boys, most likely, and under the age of 10 or 11 is about right. For THAT audience, this book is actually quite interesting. If you have a Ph.D. in physics, don't buy it. And if you considered the idea, how did you get that Ph.D., again? Not to be a smarty, or anything, ...             Rachael Ray Express Lane Meals: What to Keep on Hand, What to Buy Fresh for the Easiest-Ever 30-Minute Meals77 reviews Rachael Ray Clarkson Potter, 2006 Rachael cooks up another classic! The idea behind this clever cookbook is to have on hand a certain amount of basic ingredients. Then, to complete one of the recipes in the book, all you have to do is stop by the store and pick up a few items on your way home from work- thereby qualifying you to use the "express lane"- hence the title of the book. This particular cookbook of Rachael's contains not only easy to follow recipes, ...             Comfort Food: Rachael Ray Top 30 30-Minute Meals15 reviews Rachael Ray Lake Isle Press, 2005 great little book I really like this great little book. I have already tried out four of the recipes and they are simple and quite delicious. Rachael truly does deliver a 30 minute meal. The Shepherd's pie took a little longer, but was really worth it. I have since bought several other cookbooks by Rachael Ray and am very happy with all of them. Many of the recipes use common ingredients that I already have on ...             Mind Performance Hacks: Tips & Tools for Overclocking Your Brain (Hacks)23 reviews Ron Hale-Evans O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006 Valuable and entertaining This is a valuable book that is also very entertaining. The book is a compilation of seventy-five "hacks" designed to help us "overclock" our brains. Catchy! What it means is that the book is a collection of tips and techniques that speed and enhance our mental abilities. And they do. The tips deal with memory enhancement, perception, decision making, math applications, and general ...             Mind Hacks: Tips & Tricks for Using Your Brain (Hacks)22 reviews Tom Stafford, Matt Webb O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004 Mind hacks This is a really great book.

Sorry this isn't a review! Thanks.             Just In Time40 reviews Max Pane Three Rivers Press, 2007 Pleasantly Surprised I received this book as a gift and was, to my surprise, very impressed. Although I am a Rachael fan and watch her TV shows, I find that the cookbooks of hers I already own, I rarely use. This book is an exception. Whether intentional or not, the recipes in this book seem to be much healthier and use fewer ingredients than some of her other books. As someone who dreads grocery shopping, I have ...              search for books 30-minute, advantage, all-occasion, annoyances, anthology, complete, computer, cookbook, customizations, deliciously, different, easiest-ever, effective, electricity, essential, everyday, extremes, extremetech, hundreds, lifehacker, networking, occasion, overclocking, performance, reloaded, shortcuts, step-by-step, strategies, terrific, warcraft books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
