Book: Release It! Design and Deploy Production Ready Software by Michael Nygard
Essential reading for anyone architecting web sites. It contains clear explanations and real-life anecdotes of many of the patterns and anti-patterns that I've run into over the years, and I'm learning some new ones. Now I just have to get all the engineers on my team to read it... Here it is on Amazon.

My iPhone apps 2009
the apps that I use most frequently: Echofon, Skype, Newsstand, Instant Queue Add for Netflix, Amazon, Kindle, Pandora, WootWatch, CoPilot.
In particular I get most of my news via rss feeds using Newsstand, which synchronizes very well with Google Reader on my laptop. I don't own a kindle, but whenever possible I buy books to read on my iPhone using the kindle app.
