It's interesting (in a completely non-judgmental way) to see from all these end of year posts how many books different people read in a year.

I'm someone who feels a bit lost without a good book on the go, and I usually read at least two (and sometimes up to six) books each week. Some people would undoubtedly consider that too many, but I unashamedly read for pleasure and entertainment rather than analysing and reflecting on each title in detail.

That does mean that books have great reread value for me, but also that in certain weeks I read more titles than some people do in a year. I work full time, but watch very little television and movies and don't play a lot of video games.

Earlier this year, @twostrawsPaul Hudson asked me a few questions about app marketing for his book Everything but the Code. The book was recently finished, and It's full of great advice from many of our favorite developers on everything surrounding the making of apps.

To close out the year, I thought I'd share my expanded responses with readers.

If you're a developer, be sure to check out Paul's book - it's an excellent resource.

The IDF has shut down WCK more than once or prevented them from getting food supplies in to Gaza.

Their response was to turn their kitchens and equipment over to locals, and use their water treatment facilities (they bring those in) to provide clean water to communities and facilities like hospitals.

All the while pouring immense energy into negotiating daily the ever-changing whims of the IDF with one aim on their part: feed hungry people.

Has Chef Andres earned the Nobel yet? He should.

BY THE WAY. If you have the impression that you cannot claim donations to non-Cdn charitable entities - do some checking. I only learned through my tax preparer a few years back that you can claim $USD donations to 501(c)(3) orgs or at least some of them. WCK gets counted amongst my in-country charitable donations for the year.

In this case I'd donate anyway, the tax credits are modest and it's not my *sole* reason for donating. But if Canada gives me credit back, why not?
