More Links and Neeto Mozilla Tricks
I have a neeto little trick to share with you all. Sometime when you are surfing and you see something that you want to read later but don't really have the time you can save it to a directory on a USB jump drive. Then I put a link to the folder containing all my saved pages on my Mozilla Firefox tool bar so I can access the saved content with the touch of a button. This works out great on newspapers who move stories to a paid content section after a couple days. When it gets a bit crowded you can either trash it or archive it.
Some cool web comics to check out are:
Pathetic Geek Stories
Now on to the links:
Decaf Bad is a pretty damn cool nerd blog.
Beta News is about the bleeding edge of software.
e Home Upgrade is news about nerdly stereos and stuff
Microsoft's WinHEC site is MS site on their conference on the future of the PC.
The Drudge Retort a fair and balanced alternative to The Drudge Report.
Silver Orange Stuff contains good reviews of all sorts of stuff.
Acts of Volition.com Blog about mostly Software interface design
He Big A pretty cool English language blog from Germany
The word of the day is Defenestration. It means to violently throw out a window.
Scintilla is a damn fine free Open Source text editor that can handle multiple documents in tabs and can color code a plethora of different times of code. It is 900000 times better than using Notepad.exe.
Really Slick Screensavers are both really slick and Open Source free.

I just came across Newsmap, available at http://www.marumushi.com/apps/newsmap/ . Very cool visual representation of hot news based on the Google news aggregator.
I think defenestration can also be used reflexively, in the sense of jumping out a window, as in "I'm going to defenestrate if this keynote speech goes on any longer."
