Fulani: Art and Life of a Nomadic People
$24.95
The Fulani are a diverse people who live across west Africa from Dakar to Lake Chad. They herd cattle, sheep, goats and camels, and live from the milk from their cows. They create very beautiful art, including hairstyles, dress, mats, architecture, song, music and dance. This video features three Fulani peoples: the Gowabe, Jelgobe, and Wodaabe. The video includes scenes of daily life, interiors and exteriors of their homes, cattle, milking, making butter, weaving mats, and the spectacular dances of the Wodaabe Fulani in Niger, the Geerewal and the Ruume. Young men paint their faces red with clay and butter, and put on beautiful costumes of beads, white cloth, and ostrich feathers. They dance in long lines to show off their sex appeal. The competitions are judged by beautiful young women from the opposite clan, and the winners' names are remembered for years to come.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

The Nomadic Developer: Surviving and Thriving in the World of Technology Consulting
$39.99
I listened to a dotnetrocks podcast (on [...]) with Aaron Erickson where they were discussing topics from the book. I ordered the book to learn even more - and I was not disappointed. On the podcast they focused mainly on the deadly 7 firms, which basically are firms that you probably would not want to work for. However, the author explains how a well managed technical consulting firm works, why there is a demand for consultants, how the cash flow works in a healthy consulting firm, how to create a successful career in technical consulting, etc, etc.
I strongly recommend the book for techies that are looking for a career as technical consultants.

Kindle 2 Premium Multi-Pocket Messenger Bag
$69.99
To save some money I ordered the Nomadic Wise Walker instead of the OCTO messenger bag to carry and protect my Kindle. Although the Nomadic bag is reasonably well made, I believe it was poorly thought out and designed. The pouch compartment for the Kindle holds it firmly with a drawstring but leaves the top open to the elements. This open top design also carries over to the flap compartment housing a cell phone. No protection at all is provided from the top for either device in even a light shower.

I will give this bag to my 6 year old grandson to keep his "little treasures" as soon as the OCTO messenger bag that I ordered arrives this week.
