UX Toolkit. Whaa?

[electBlake]

Until this thread I always though UX Toolkit was a User Experience JS  
Testing Suite - ha!

How about Fluid Design Book? Or Something with "Book" ?

I've always like calling things "Books" (seobook.com for instance) it  
just gives the air of "yes, we know what we're doing, so much so that  
we have written a book!"
