If you like Steve McConnell's work, you should take a look at http://www.LiquidPlanner.com, we built our entire product around the notion of ranged estimation so that your schedule actually captures some of uncertainty involved in estimation.

Also if anyone wants some more good books to read we have a list of some of our favorite project management books at http://www.liquidplanner.com/recommended-reading.

btilly, thanks for the reference to this. I've added it to my Goodreads list.
