Here is a great article on the benefits of Subversion (SVN) from Red Hat Magazine. If you are a not familiar with it perhaps you’re familiar with its cousin CVS. Both of which are version control systems (essentially a giant undo/redo database for all your code and files). Perhaps that definition is the most simplistic… but you get the idea. Well Subversion ups the ante on CVS with an all new well-designed codebase that will let it grow in amazing new directions that old CVS can’t. Did I mention it is open source?

One of many many things that makes Firefox the best browser is all the features it doesn't have. Extensions. The Mozilla developer team has taken the right approach in only including the most popular and useful features in the browser. Shrugging off feature bloat by letting the user install new features as needed. Mozilla (Firefox) has proved to be an excellent platform upon which to build new functions seemlessly into an already splendid browser. If you can imagine it... Chances are some thoughtful developer has already released an extension that does just that. IE eat your heart out.

This is a pretty good article I want to point out that touches on a CSS topic that you really don't see much about outside the official W3C documents.

This is one amazing 3D program! Version 2 is an incredible improvement over the already useful program. Z brush added in a bunch of new features, but in addition the user interface has been beefed up and is customizable.
