Uncle Mark Gift Guide & Almanac

The 2009 edition of the Uncle Mark Gift Guide & Almanac is available as a free .pdf download from Mark Hurst, consumer-experience consultant and creator of Good Experience. As Hurst acknowledges, it's a strange time to be making recommendations about spending money, but as he adds, "any purchases we do make today should be as well-informed as possible." Hurst's guide offers single recommendations in various categories, along with some unusual and useful lifehacks. (All telephone users should read "How to leave a telephone message.") The Guide is a document whose clarity of content and design inspires readerly confidence. See for yourself:

I think it's great that on page 2 he writes that the 2 megapixel iPhone is the only camera you need to carry around, because it saves me reading any further.

He does add that 2 megapixels is fine "unless you're a professional photographer."

I have no iPhone: what are its camera's shortcomings?

I find 2 megapixels a little lame for even meager enlarging.
