Found this [site really interesting](http://www.ipattern.com/) from Maxim V. Karpov, basically it's a blog with a focus on the use of design patterns in .NET - which I personally think are currently not widely underused but could provide a huge boost to a whole lot of developers. Maxim recently wrote an article looking at the [ASP.NET Out Of Process Session State](http://ipattern.com/simpleblog/CommentView.aspx?entryid=37) - which is in itself an implementation of the [Intercepting Filter pattern](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpatterns/html/DesInterceptingFilter.asp). If you're interested in patterns in .NET you could do a lot worse than look at the [Microsoft Patterns site](http://www.microsoft.com/resources/practices/) - whilst it isn't perfect (I'd personally like to see a WHOLE lot more example code) it is a great introduction.
