456 Berea Street
456 Berea Street is Roger Johansson's personal site. It's one of the better sites out there for tips and actual code on how to do cool things with web standards and CSS. His article on inverted tabs is the source of inspiration for my tabbed menu in V3 of this site.
Just a great source of information and discussion.

You suck at the Internet
I'm not sure why, but I found this incredibly hilarious. I was talking to my boss when I saw it in someone's post at a message board, I had a hard time not busting out laughing.

Basecamp Project Management
An amazing piece of software. I have heard people (including the creators) talking about Basecamp for a long time now, but I had never noticed there was a free version before. The free version only lets you manage one project at a time, but otherwise it's the full blown app.
Basecamp lets you track a project's major milestons, create to-do lists, send messages, share files, and pretty much everything else you could think of. You even get a unique URL where everyone related to the project can interact and work together.

Ta-da Lists
Really, really handy little web app here. It's like a million times better version of an idea I was wanting to do with PHP, which kinda pisses me off because that's how I wanted to work on my PHP skills. Oh well.
Ta-da List makes it really easy to create, manage, and share a bunch of lists. A really simple, yet powerful task management system. The only thing missing that I'd like is due dates.
I'm going to do a full weblog post on this and Basecamp soon.

StealItBack - Police Auctions Online
It's like eBay, but with stolen crap. Once stolen property is not needed as evidence and if the rightful owners can't be found, former police officers Property Bureau purchase it and auction it off. One pretty cool feature:
Private citizens are invited to register on StealitBack.com any items with serial numbers they have lost or reported stolen to their local police department. StealitBack.com will search its database, and if an item has been received from a participating department, will return the item to the police department where the theft or loss was originally reported so that it may be returned to its rightful owner free of charge.
You can even find something for that special someone in your life.

Movable Type 'nofollow' plugin
Movable Type has officially added support for the rel="nofollow" attribute for anchor tags through a plugin. I don't plan on implementing it here on this site, I don't mind sharing a little PageRank with others. I'm sure many of the sites I frequent will implement it though, meaning my PageRank is probably going to plummet.
Hopefully, enough of the most popular weblogs put in to place and put an end to all this damn comment spam.

Asthma bong for kids
It's actually a decent idea, make asthma inhalers more cool for kids to use. I'm not really sure that the Funhaler does that though. Which would be more embarassing, using a normal inhaler or puffing on this thing?

EA, ESPN announce 15-year gaming partnership
This should piss off just about all of the gaming community. It's cool to hate the mainstream favorite even if it's a hell of a game. Last month they signed an exclusive deal with the NFL and the NFLPA, and now they've grabbed the ESPN brand name and personalities too.
ESPN NCAA 2006 or whatever they call is going to freaking rule.

Does sIFR suck?
I think it's pretty damn cool personally, but obviously I don't know a damn thing. He's actually saying that Flash sucks and text on the Web still sucks, despite the issue or two sIFR solves.
Good discussion follows in the comments.

UT student sued over spam
Wow, I should spam people. These people have made hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars through this scheme.
How many morons are there actually out there that fall for spam?
The dumbest part is that the article says you should look for a Web page to submit contact information.
Ummm, all that would do is confirm you're a real sucker and they have your real email address.

Sounds like the injury is healing but not very quickly, he's out for the rest of the season and is aiming to return next year.
