I bought Idea Revolution three months agao. This book was listed in Book of the Year 2003.
Anyone, and I mean anyone in a position to create visual communications-- be they brochures, newsletters, posters, web pages, books, annual reports, or what have you -- must get Idea Revolution! If you study this book's lessons you'll agree it pays for itself with the first creative flash. I do not know if How Design Books will reprint this book, so you really need to purchase it before it goes out of print.

It seems that blog becomes to a MT world. Six Apart announced that MT 3.0 will be released in Feb 2004. The new system intergrade a function to ban all of spam comments and support Atorm standard. I used MT to build up my Chinese blog and use the simulate system TP to maintain my english one. MT is a great but perl script, actually I prefer the open source CMS develope with PHP! I noticed that Joey was developing a new CMS by ASP.net, very interesting guy build up his own blog publish system, looks like most of primary function were implemented in his CMS project. Probably someday he can public his works to people who loved into ASP.
Anyway I collected some MT resource site list below.

Xgird, apple's advanced computing group.
Xgrid turns a group of Macs into a supercomputer, so they can work on problems greater than each individually could solve. You can let Xgrid operate in screensaver mode, so whenever you aren’t working, your Mac can crunch away at some data set.

The Art of Unix Programming wrote by Eric S. Raymond's.
The Art of Unix Programming attempts to capture the engineering wisdom and philosophy of the Unix community as it's applied today — not merely as it has been written down in the past, but as a living "special transmission, outside the scriptures" passed from guru to guru. Accordingly, the book doesn't focus so much on "what" as on "why", showing the connection between Unix philosophy and practice through case studies in widely available open-source software.
