Well, everyone else seems to be doing it.....  I come across quite a few links each day that interest me or I should investigate further.  Here is my attempt to list those ...  while I would like to say daily, I really doubt that will happen.  Here is my first short batch.

1. Reading Excel with ADO.NET - an interesting look into how ADO.NET handles Excel Docs.  Most interesting was how it guesses the data type of each column.
2. Creating a unique or semi-unique ID in .NET  - As I ran into a similar situation not too long ago (I actually stuck with using GUIDs as in this particular application, the length didn’t matter to me), this opens up a discussion on the GetHashCode() method used on a GUID to create a semi-unique ID.
3. Using ResolveClientUrl in markup – This comes in handy more than not, but it is invariably something I forget about each time.
