Free Stuff Friday, cliff’s notes version

Feeling the crunch today to finish up and hand off work before leavign for #SQLPASS (yeah, I used a Twitter hashtag in a blog…wanna make something of it? 🙂  so we're going with the "clean, efficient" style today.  Free stuff for you:

• Thanks @BuckWoody for the list of free college and other courses
• Thanks @MicrosoftPress for another free ebook: Introducing Windows Server 2008 R2. "Covers new features & refinements in R2."
• Thanks to the internetz and MVPs for the free, downloadable "Developers, Developers, Developers" IT eBook (download PDF from MS)
• Thanks @BrentO for your PASS Summit session previews
• For those who are registered to go to PASS, remember to download the presentation slide decks from the Agenda tool  Your login is the email you used when you registered.
• Oh, and I just bought and downloaded the eBook version of "Twitter Wit" from Barnes & Noble. When you buy an ebook from them, you get 5 others for free, including Dracula, a Jane Austen book, and the Merriam-Webster dictionary. I just thought that was cool.
• Finally, you guys should go check out Wil Wheaton's (remember Wil Wheaton?  Of "Die Westly Die" fame on Star Trek Next Generation? Turns out he's a cool dude, and a geek like us.) "Memories of the Futurecast" podcasts from iTunes.  Hilarious.  Blog, Twitter.

Happy days,
