Want an Indoor Bike Rack?

Gearup's Oak Bike Rack looks as good as it works.

Grinding coffee in your cubicle?

Use the Java Mill. It is well built, quiet, and a wonderful way to relieve stress when you're frustrated by poorly designed enterprise software.

It looks pretty good too.

Drinking Coffee at Work

Do you drink coffee at work? Try the Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker. It's compact, and makes great tasting grit free coffee (unlike a normal french press)!

Home Routers ---

Want a router which can be managed from anywhere in the world? Look no further than open-mesh. Their cloud management portal, cloudtrax, is amazing. I have been running the OM2P-HS for 18 months. Most routers would need to be manually re-booted at least once during that time. Not this guy. If it ever can't connect to Cloudtrax, it does what most humans would do automatically. It restarts itself. How often does that happen? I don't know, because in the time I've had it, I've never had down time related to the router (yep only downtime has been due to problems with my ISP). If you want to save a few bucks and don't need the high speed connection, try the OM2P.

Data Warehouse Design Books

I recently finished reading Agile Data Warehouse Design by Lawrence Corr with Jim Stagnitto and it is brilliant. Jim re-invents Kimball's methodology for an Agile world and gives you a playbook on how to use it. It is well worth the read for anyone is actively applying Kimball's concepts in an Enterprise today.
