Too bad it's not on Books24x7.

If you prefer eBooks you can always just buy the Kindle version. That's the version I bought.
You don't have to own the device. The Kindle reader software is available free for pretty much every computer, tablet and smart phone out there.

This is true, but my employer pays for everyone to have a books24x7 subscription, so I was hoping to be able to read it at no cost to me.

Hey, if you can get someone else to pony up for your tech books that's an excellent gig.
That said, if you do end up adding it to your own collection, it's fifteen bucks well spent. I wouldn't recommend it if you're already strong in CSS and just want the CSS3 stuff as that's a very small portion of the book, but if like me you want to get a refresher on the basics, it's a solid read.

I do web UI stuff so infrequently that it sounds like a good book. Thanks for the recommendation.

Wikipedia Book Creator?
In the Wikipedia Main Page, on the left menu, click --> Print/export --> Create a book.
And then keep adding pages to the book as you browse the site. At the end, it allows you to create a book from the pages you added and neatly formats it into a book complete with Contents, References, etc. and allows you to export to PDF, e-Pub and other formats.

Looks pretty awesome, haven't tried it yet and don't really know what I would use it for personally but maybe someone doing research?

Why would someone print a wikipedia page ?
I'd rather be phishing!

- If it describes the critical map points showing where the treasure is buried.
- If it contains the documentation on how to boot my particular computer into safe mode and all the boot options.
- If it describes how to recover my unbootable system (I already needed it for Ubuntu)
Windows 8 is the resurrected version of Microsoft Bob. The only thing missing is the Fisher-Price logo.

Not something I'd use but nice to know about the concept.

The Team Bulding Committee at my place of work has broken all employees into teams. Each team must design and build a mini-golf hole with a halloween theme to create a course for everyone to play through. I'm trying to think of an idea for my team. I thought starting with some kind of pun would be good. And people here seems pretty good at them. So please give me your best halloween and golf theme pun. All I've been able to come up with is "Howl in one".

Golf is flog spelled backwards....

Make sure one of the courses is by the water cooler, include a sand-witch or two for the hungry.
Make the 6th course 666.
Put a giant stake (upside down cone or something) and a bat (baseball and animals) for one of the courses instead of a tee and a club.
Plenty of nekkid bloody girl pix would make it more festive. Sign that says "Gentlemen Only! Ladies For-beddin'!
