Darren recommended that I start adding a description of what is included in each .NET Nightly as part of the title, I am not sure if this is so he can find older posts or so he can see if it is worth reading, but either way it sounds like a good idea to me. I decided to use “or” to rip off the literary device of two of my favorite artists, Stanley Kubrick with movie titles like “Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb”, and Kurt Vonnegut with names like “Slaughterhouse Five or the Children's Crusade”... and while .NET Nightly is the equivalent of mouse droppings to these works of art, I can still rip them off.

• FeedDemon 1.0 RC1 released - Another drop of my favorite newsreader, but be warned this one will delete all of your stored items. (Does not bother me as I think it is silly to store stuff on my hard drive when google does it all for me)
• Tablet UML -  I think this has been around for awhile, but it looks like it has some potential.
• Creating a Pager Control for ASP.NET - Yet another good ASP.NET article from Dino Esposito.
• 4 cool books coming from Microsoft - In a rare feat Microsoft Press actually updated there New and Upcoming Titles page to reveal four upcoming books that look awesome, including Threat Modeling, Extreme Programming Adventures in C#, Test-Driven Development in Microsoft.NET, and Object Thinking.
