Friday Fun Link - Year-End Lists (Dec 29, 2006)

Here’s a big surprise - I love lists! And the end of the year, is the absolute best time for them. A web site called Fimoculous has compiled links to various online lists of best movies, music, books and various other categories for the past few years.

Here’s a direct link to the Books section and the Words, Quotes & Search Terms section.

Happy New Year everyone!

Friday Fun Link - Anti-Technology Life Hacks (Dec 8, 2006)

Posting this discussion on an Internet web site is sort of antithetical to the purpose but anyhow, AskMetafilter recently had a thread about anti-technology “life hacks” - ways that technologically adept people may be rejecting high-tech in favour of other options.

The person who posted the question cited the Hipster PDA, basically a stack of index cards held together with a paper clip, as the sort of thing they were looking for.
