john carmack on mobile games
John Carmack is the head of id software, the people who created Wolf3D, Quake, Doom and of course Commander Keen
I was very happy to find out he writes a blog, but it turns out he has only 2 entries... well, so much for the good news
His writings about mobile gaming is very interesting - keep in mind he is the guy who almost single-handidly invented 3D gaming and the market for high-end graphics cards
Click the picture to see a photostream of Carmack's team preparing an attempt at the Ansari X Prize, which was a competition to see which private venture first made it into space (his team could not finish their spaceship in time)

best smallwares
This site is pretty popular - it keeps coming up on del.icio.us and stumbleupon - it lists some very useful small & free softwares - marktaw's smallware
Some of the best include Analyzer, the packet sniffer, it helped me write a program for downloading my fave daily comix off the web, folder size view in explorer (this is something so simple, why did'nt MS think of this?) and waste, a p2p client written by Justin Frankel, the guy who wrote winamp - the last one is the best for p2p file sharing, only if you can get into a network (u need an invite), I have lost access to mine unfortunately so it is'nt much use for me - if anyone reading this has access to a network, please do let me know
