  • Doomsday for 2009 is … Saturday.
  • Mary Ellen Bates says goodbye to several Google apps, and ponders Microsoft’s persistent relevance. I’ll miss Google Notebook, myself.
  • Better ways to run a workshop. And some damn fine YouTube examples of Patrick McGoohan at work.
  • Chris Blattman summarizes Rapture indicators from The Rapture Index site: “The prophetic speedometer of end-time activity”. And no, I sure as hell ain’t linking to that site. Chris does that so I don’t have to.
  • Michael Leddy at Orange Crate Art excerpts a neat paragraph on why a long, inefficient search can yield better results in the long-term than instant retrieval.
  • Man decorates basement with $10 worth of Sharpie. Sorry, can’t remember where I got this. I love the 360-degree view of his newly decorated basement. If I could draw that well, and had his nerve, this world would be a different place. Update: But Liz says it makes the walls look like cardboard.
