04 Getting Started with Processing
Learn computer programming the easy way with Processing, a
simple language that lets you use code to create drawings, animation,
and interactive graphics. Programming courses usually start with
theory, but "Getting Started with Processing" by Processing founders
Casey Reas and Ben Fry lets you jump right into creative
and fun projects.

05 Soulver 2.0
I recently got Soulver for the Mac, but there are also
versions for the iPad and iPhone. It helps you work things out.
It's quicker to use than a spreadsheet, and smarter and clearer
than a traditional calculator. It is used to play around with
numbers, do "back of the envelope" quick calculations, and solve
day-to-day problems.

06 iPad Security Case
The iPad Security Case has quickly become a market favorite,
and newPCgadgets best selling new product introduction.
The cushioned black leather case with adjustable stand and
2-digit combination lock, provides the features that consumers
have been looking for. As a nice touch, the built in microfiber
cleaning cloth allows owners to keep their iPad screen clean.

Photographer and environmentalist Uwe Skrzypczak wrote
"Wildlife Photography" with several goals in mind -- to teach the

to show the beauty of East Africa and his beloved Serengeti
National Park, and to educate about its habitat; and to
provide a guide for the photographer who is planning to
go on an African photo safari and wants to be prepared
to capture the finest possible images.
