Uwe mentioned FourEyesUp, where you can find by location or category the sorts of sights that tech people might like better than the usual tourist sights.

This is a truly amazing presentation about what motivates us, showing some surprising results.  Definitely worth the time to view it!  Thanks to Marcel for posting it.

SquareTrade, the purchase warranty service available through eBay and many other vendors, did an interesting study on laptop reliability. The sampling was 30,000 randomly-chosen warranty claims on brand new laptop computers. The results are in: 1 in 3 laptops fail over 3 years, and netbooks possibly fail 20% more than laptops. The PDF article is a must read for anyone looking for a new laptop.

Phishing has become an art. In its early days, it was fairly easy for experienced email users to recognize a phishing attempt. Nowadays, it's becoming more difficult. See how well you, or your users, can recognize some of the latest types of phishing attempts, with this simple test from Sonicwall.

Strong passwords are just common sense, but they're very difficult to remember, especially for things that we don't use daily. Most of us now have anywhere from 20 to over 100 passwords and usernames, depending on our work, internet activities and software used. Where to keep them safe? Enter secure password programs to help us keep track of them all. Here are a few that are open source or

Greg B recently decided that if they can outsource the people who take your order at McDonald's, maybe it's time to outsource his life, because it must now be possible to pay someone else to do it for less than it costs him to do it hinself. Craig helpfully provided a link to DoMyStuff to get Greg started.

Ever been faced with the conundrum of needing to update a new install of Windows, which has to be done over the internet with Microsoft's update system, even though exposing an un-patched Windows to the internet is an unsafe thing to do and a security risk? Or Aunt Louise only has a dial-up connection, and you need to security-patch her system? This appears to be a legal method of downloading

Tim Leerhoff is co-creating the ultimate train set for his grandchildren. This is a work in progress, that is pretty amazing as it is already. It looks like they're having as much fun getting it made as the kids will have in playing with it later. Can't wait to see it finished. but just seeing the surprises along the way as this plan goes from drawing to outline to completion is a fascinating

Have you every downloaded a great little freeware program, used it forever, changed hard drives over time, and then could only find a more advanced paid version of it again to install on your new system or hard drive? This site has an archive of the last freeware version of quite a number of programs. Maybe you'll find your old favorite there!

Ever wonder what registry entries/changes have been made to your system when you change something or install some software? This program can take a snapshot before and after, and then compare the two, and there's your answer to what's been changed! Nice open source utility for all 32-bit Windows, to keep in your bag of tricks.

The H1N1 flu outbreak is definitely something of interest happening in the world, and which may have an effect on each of us personally and professionally. My father's father died in the flu epidemic that started in 1918, so my family was permanently affected by that pandemic. I'm not in any way in a panic about this spate of the flu, but that doesn't mean I want to put my head in the sand about

With all the exploits going on in email these days, it might not be a bad idea to test your email system to see how well it does against them. Here's one place to go to test it! Thanks to Lance Reynolds for the link.

Here's a Thunderbird tweak that I found helpful. You can already set tags for Thunderbird, but those only change the color of the text. This takes whatever color has been set, and, instead, uses that to color the background, making it much easier to find tagged items without doing a search.

Remember the Novell TID Finder page? Now there's a Novell TID Finder Firefox extension that works the same way - just enter a TID number and off you go! It adds the Novell site to the search engines in your Firefox browser, so you just select the Novell TID Finder from the search dropdown list.

No degree, but you've got lots of experience? Western Governor's University is an accredited online university with fairly reasonable rates. That's pretty incredible, but what makes it even more appealing is that it's a competency-based learning program. That means the degree isn't based on credit hours, it's based on knowledge, so if you already know much in your field, and can prove it, your
