I was updating my site recently and wanted to add the obligatory collection of world changing links. Instead of a tedious static page I decided to create something more navigable and interactive:

http://booleanoperations.co.nz/coolstuff/

It's an ASP.NET MVC3 site using the Razor view engine (which I prefer to the WebForms one) with a SQL Server 2008 database.

It's an eclectic bunch of links but I like to think they share a common thread of not sapping the will to live :-)

Nice one. Razor is really nice, most of our new projects are now MVC3 + Razor :)

MVC3 in the hizzle.

Working on a new site atm using:

ASP.NET MVC3 w/ Razor and the HTML5 tools update
HTML5 Boilerplate
960gs, blueprint for a leg up with CSS
jQuery + plugins
Either going to be: Massive or Dapper for Micro ORM
SQL Server 2008
n2 for CMS functionality probably
Integrate with Campaign Monitor for email marketing

Good times!
