Khan Academy
The Khan Academy provides an unbelievable amount of educational videos on a wide variety of topics including math, science, history and economics. All videos are free.
Bill Gates has recently sung the praises of the Khan Academy, stating “This guy is amazing. It is awesome how much he has done with very little in the way of resources.”

BFG is a “pay only for what you eat” web framework
BFG is based on WSGI and is from the same guys who brought you worked on the Repoze project. BFG only provides URL mapping, templating and security; the rest is up to you.
What I like about BFG (after a few minutes of perusal): views as callables (meaning you can define a view class), built-in permissions-based security (although rolling your own is fairly trivial), built-in event listeners (although, again, rolling your own observer pattern is trivial).
What I don’t like about BFG: ZCML configuration (XML, as opposed to Python), no Mako template support yet (although I’m sure I’d be OK with Chameleon).

Ikea Dave Laptop Table
I’ve been toying with the idea of having a mini desk in our apartment for working on the laptop away from the kitchen table. The kitchen table is too high and it’s not the most convenient table at which to do work. I was looking for a stylish small table, but this cheap and portable, but effective, table from Ikea would fit the bill nicely.
