I found an awesome guide on how to do off camera flash with small strobes (speedlights). Really makes you realize that studio strobes are unneccesary if you just use a speedlight.

LightSource Podcast

This is off the previously mentioned StudioLighting.net. They generally interview commercial photographers and I always find it interesting and inspiring.
