Reading Material
- While I'm still probably going to get an Android phone when my contract is up, Windows Mobile still can be hacked to bits quite easily thanks to XDA_UC, which you can dump your settings and custom files and such that will install automagically after the ROM flash. the ROM I enjoy supports it quite easily and in a user-friendly way. Now that Task29 is supported on my phone, I'm less likely to have flashing trouble (though I rarely did -- as I always just did the Flash Dance, just in case).
- Five Ridiculous Gun Myths Everybody Believes, Thanks To Hollywood.
- How can I get into this line of work? Chinese companies are looking to rent white guys as fake businessmen.
- Speaking of white things, one designer's problem with white space.
- Here's an interesting commentary about the outsourcing low-cost lie.
- How much surface area would it take to power the world with solar power? Not much, though it doesn't obviously take into account the transport of said electricity, which doesn't work well over the stupidly long distances they're talking about.
- Want to permanently delete your account on popular websites? Some make it easier than others (and it's just impossible on a few).
- Want to write a citizen's traffic ticket? It's legal in many states. Here's a step-by-step (with pretty pictures) on how to do it in Oregon.
- Great little basic programming lessons that cam from a great SubReddit.
- A 14-year-old tries to help a three-year-old find her mom, and now faces felony abduction charges.
- You know your hex color codes? Do you?
- Need to bulk download Flickr photos? Here ya go: Use Bulkr.
- Hassle-free guide to ripping your Blu-Ray collection.
- Oldie, and I may have linked to it before, but here are some great free typographic XHMTL/CSS layouts.
- Huge list of jQuery calandar plugins (mostly booking marking that for my reference).
- Comic Sans, the font that everybody loves to hates, is the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes f-----g Gutenberg.
