The Holiday party season has begun for our family. We had our company party on Thursday of last week and the first of four consecutive family get-togethers was tonight. Whew!

I'm currently reading Ingo Rammer's Advanced .NET Remoting which is an amazing book. I know I'm late on this bandwagon, but let me just say... don't do anything real with remoting unless you have read this book and everything on Ingo's site. 'Nuff said.

• NAnt 0.84 RC2 Available - Just hit the streets today...
• Time Zone Conversion Classes for .NET - This has been missing from the .NET BCL for way too long. [via Larkware News]
• Whitehorse Review - The modeling tool that ships with Whidbey is not based on UML because UML is too object oriented. Whitehorse will have a service oriented focus. Or so they say...
• Hilarious Japanese Metro Sign - Not very geeky, but damn funny. [via Jesse Ezell's blog]
• How Everyday Things Are Made - A fun site with lots of interesting Flash movies. Chocolate, motorcycles, airplanes, jelly beans... [via Randy Holloway]
• WinAMP 5 Available - I don't know when this happened, but I missed it. I gave up on WinAMP 3 but 5 looks very nice. Apparently it will play WMAs too, so I don't have to re-rip all my CDs.
