http://www.fiftythree.com/pencil is on my list
If you have anyone in your family or group of friends who is either having trouble with their gender or sexual identity or if they are trying to understand a friend or family member with the same, give this book a look. Itās an exhaustive book written over 3 years by those inside and close to the LGBTQIA community and itās wonderfully illustrated by my sister (fair disclosure and all that)
I hope it can help someone figure out their own situation or help spread understanding in place of hate.

Sad to see that none of Hasslein Booksā publications made the list: Reference Guides for Geeks
Thatās pretty neat, but it also is pretty expensive.
Since theyāre targeting the wet-shave market, we can compare to double-edged razor blades. If you shave six times a week and use a new Derby DE-blade each time (20Ā¢ ea.), youāll spend $313 over the course of five years. Half that, $157 over five years, if you use your blades twice (which is still almost identically sharp, if youāre shaving that often). And thatās with a system that uses no electricity and no big breakable gadget.
Iām all for innovation and I hope your friend gets funded. But I worry heās targeting a pretty small market.

Ergonomic and stable, they stay right where theyāre placedāleaving your work visible, your body safe and out of the way.
Beautiful archival tools, made for many lifetimes of service, and to be passed down through generations.
Ah. I knew there had to be a reason it did that. It randomized last year, too, which frustrated me no end.
Iām just gonna Open Link In New Tab from now on to work my way down the list.

Glad to see somebodyās doing it again! I have three or four different razor blade sharpeners, all antiques.
Hey! I went to go check out Rover (the ā48ā Solid White Beach Ball") and found this wee disclaimer:
Inflated: Approximately 34āā
Thatās dirty pool, that is.
Sorry, Donald. I was trying to be clever. Didnāt see the disclaimer. Also, I am sure it wonāt hunt down people that need hunting down.
No, no, Mr Weisberger! Not dirty pool on your part! Just Amazonās own naughtiness. (Or, possibly, just their typo regarding the actual inflated size. One can hope, at least until the ball shows up on the porch.)
Never once did I feel your own pool was anything less than exemplary.
I tried to add a question on Amazon. You can guess what it is. They have deleted it.
āWe want information!ā would be my guess. ;^)
Seriously? Iām supposed to guess my sisterās size in chain mail tights? No way Iām going there. Do I look suicidal?
Gift certificates. One size fits most.
Who is number one?

Why is the list in a different order every time you load it? Makes it hard to know that youāve read the whole thing.

This guide is really helpful! Iāve already purchased a bunch of them based on your recommendations. Please keep adding new things! I have a bunch more geeky people to buy gifts for and need all of the help I can get! =)

All I want for xmas is consistent perspective. I feel like Iām falling off my chair every time I see this graphic!
@beschizza ah, if only Iād imagined it as floating in space I might have been okay:
