Reading Material

• Is Wikileaks protected by shield laws?
• The secret histories of those oddball computer symbols.
• Yet another reason to ignore everything Rush Limbaugh says.
• Infuriating wheelchair ramps (I don't know how any both in a wheelchair could navigate these).
• 35 essential social media resources you may have missed.
• Claws Mail is another simple e-mail client out there that looks pretty dang cool (as are some of its plugins).
• Ned to convert a video, audio, image, ebook, or other document to another format? This might help.
• What happened to Yahoo?
• A man who only tweets when he poops (probably inspired by this comic that I linked to a while back).
• If you're buying a phone of eBay for Sprint, Boost, or Virgin Mobile, you might want to check the ESN/MEI to make sure it's clean, otherwise it won't activate.
• God's number (in relation to the Rubik's Cube) has been proven to be 20.
• Great list of free online apps and services.
• Unicorns are such jerks.
• Gorilla plays the Game Boy (full story).
• For my reference, a few programs to get thumbnails for your movies on your WDTV box: WDTV Image Grabber, MetaX (edit: Fixed Link), and Thumbgen.
• ITA is yet another flight search engine to try to find the best deals.
• Turning terrible business jargon (like "bucketize") into unsucky words (like "categorize").
• Be sure to print up these Journalism warning labels and stick them on your local newspapers.
• Netflix is getting a bunch more movies on its streaming service (which is why I love my WDTV Live Plus and its Netflix support -- if the thing had Hulu, I'd probably cancel my cable).
• Five freeware apps for extreme file management. There are some good ones there for some handy (but usually very specific) purposes.
• If you have guests staying at your house frequently, this guest information packet might be very handy (I could see this being re-worked for a vacation rental homeowner very easily).

• The Web Is Dead. Or not.
