Enjoy. More coming later. I need to spend some time with my new DS game.

Lately my work life has been so chaotic that the last thing I want to do when I come home is turn my computer on, even if I really want to share my finds with the world. I’ve saved a good majority of the links that people have sent me, but it’s gotten to the point where some of them are so old that they aren’t relevant any more.

So today, in the anti-spirit of all the other useless crap you’ll find online today (’tis April Fool’s day, after all), here are some good links that may just be a bit dated (or just random as they’re things that I’ve bookmarked for my own reference:

• Live International Piracy Map (we’re talking real piracy with boats and such).
• Curb This is the new Yakety Sax.
• Creating a print-friendly template in Movable Type.
• Top 10 ways to lock down your data.
• Best places to find multi-monitor wall-paper.
• Firefox for Mobile, which can’t happen soon enough.
• Stalled Printer Repair purges stuck print jobs.
• 20 Great Freeware Games from Cactus.
• Vortexbox, and open-source CD ripping and media server OS.
