    I will appreciate if you can recommend any good technology book (ideally .NET, WPF, s/w design or usability) that I could carry along and read while at the airport.

          Given that I used to write air traffic control software, you might want to get a book of mellow meditations instead. :)

                                In the past, one of my flight got canceled because their team tried to upgrade navigation s/w and screwed up big time. This resulted in delay of 8-10 hour to reach my destination :)

                                          I think I still have a copy of that I bought in high school ('70s). It isn't anywhere near as bad as the intratubz.

                                          Opacity, the new Transparency.
