• How to put your logo in a QR code.
• Ken Jennings has a great blog (that I’ve linked to before), but now he’s also writing for Woot’s blog (which is having a Woot Off today).

• We knew the deficit would rise, because Obama didn’t actually lie about the numbers like Bush did. Quoting the story from 2009: “For his first annual budget next week, President Obama has banned four accounting gimmicks that President George W. Bush used to make deficit projections look smaller.”
• Use Jonathan’s Card (which may or may not be fake) to buy yourself an iPad..

Yes, I know I probably should have known about the The Old Man Of The Lake, being from Oregon and all, but sadly, I did not.
