A bit of an odd photo here, so possibly some background to explain it may help...!
A few months ago books were being discussed on a forum, and I posted a photo of my slightly excessive collection of O'Reilly "Hacks" books - at the time there were 12 of them, having started off with Amazon Hacks a few years ago and being very impressed with the way the books are written and presented - that lead me on to getting more, and they've sort of become an essential part of my collection of books.
The two new additions today are Flickr Hacks (well what else, I just had to get that didn't I?!) and Digital Photography Hacks - I've been meaning to get them for a while but the recent fascination with Flickr and wanting to improve my photography skills made it the time for me to finally place the order on Amazon!
A lot of people see the "Hacks" name and think they're going to be the stereotypical "haxor" sort of hacking, breaking in to secure systems and the like, but they're really not like that - as the publishers website says at oreilly.com/hacks/ the books in the series "reclaim the term 'hacking' for the good guys--innovators who explore and experiment, unearth shortcuts, create useful tools, and come up with fun things to try on their own".
An excellent series from a book publisher which every computery person (is that really the best phrase I can think of to describe us?! doh...) must have at least one of their books somewhere in their collection!
Update: I don't feel my collection of Hacks books is that excessive after seeing the photos from fellow Flickr user Brian Sawyer:

Now that's a lot of books!
I spent today hacking out the lens inards of my polaroid 95 and modifying it to take a Schneider Kreuznach lens I've had for a bit.
Still to set infinity and focus scale but it should work just fine.

So much better now! The cap is postable and the pen is way easier to fit in a pocket. Thanks to Dr. Sketch's Flickr upload, check out his hack explanation in his photos!
Hey, as long as he's not "hacking" up a furball or phishing for credit card numbers, Otis is more then welcome to ply his computer skills.

I don't think this is the Red-bellied Woodpecker we usually get. I took this from an easy chair from 12 ft. back in the room because the RBW that usually comes will fly away if you just lift your arm up. This guy was taking huge chunks at a time and staying for quite some time. You can see his sort-of-red belly pretty well.
We had this one, a Red-breasted Nuthatch, a Goldfinch and 75-100 House Sparrows in a 10 minute period, then no other birds at all until some Cardinals showed up at the customary Cardinal time before dusk. That's the way its been going recently during this warmer weather.
