“Beginning OpenOffice 3” is a guide to Sun's open-source replacement for Microsoft Office and AppleWorks. Starting with a short history of the project and its development, the reader has the layout of the book and its typographical conventions described – very handy for novices unused to reading technical books.

"Mac for Linux Geeks" is something of a mixed bag. The aim of this book is to show Linux users - in particular, experienced hackers who use Linux on a daily basis - the benefits of moving to Mac OS X.

Wow, just over a year since I last posted one of these things. Nothing particularly interesting in this one, apart from a link to one of the better WTF articles I've seen: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Whats-in-a-Name.aspx . Oh, and I got married!
