Passive Agressive Notes

http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/
Recommended by Trish Duffin
Hilarious collection of submitted and found pictures of angry notes
left by people who want to 'get at' someone without actually being
there.

My favorites include someone who put cat hair into the mailbox of a
cat owner who habitually threw the hair out of her apartment window
while cleaning.

And anybody who has ever shared an apartment can relate to the many
notes left between roommates who no longer speak except in angry
missives left on bedroom doors.

Probably the best, just because of what it represents, is the café
employees who all quit at the same time, locked the place up, and left
the owner a note telling him what a terrible boss he was.

Help choosing your candidate

http://www.wqad.com/Global/link.asp?L=259460
or search 'select a candidate 2008'
Sent to me by Richie T!
For people who are a bit torn about whom they like amongst the
Presidential Candidates, this survey asks you questions on 11 key
points – Iraq, stem cell research, abortion, gay marriage, the
economy, etc. – and how strongly you feel about that issue. You click
submit, and it then places the candidates in order of which platform
most closely agrees with your own opinions, and it shows you the
points upon which you agree and disagree.
Although this should not be the place to make your choice for a
presidential nominee, it's a good place to start.

Next week I'll talk about a website that turns your voicemails into
emails and text messages, as well as how to keep people who are using
your computer from going to specific web sites.

Permanent Firefox tabs: "PermaTabs"

PermaTabs sets any web site of your choice as a permanent tab so you will not close it by accident, with the tab launching automatically when you start Firefox. A
simple key command (Alt+P) toggles the tab as 'PermaTab' or not.

Eco-friendly diapers

http://www.gdiapers.com/
An Australian company that provides flushable/degradable diaper liners
that snap into a cloth diaper. Velcro fasteners connect slightly in
back to keep kids from reaching them and opening their diapers. The
diaper will break down in 50-150 days (instead of 500 years like
regular disposable diapers). You can even compost the wet ones!?!?
