Stuff You Didn’t Know

This list of “stuff you didn’t know” pretty much delivered on that title for me. “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la
Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula” is Los Angeles? Never heard of it. I did know a couple of these, but overall it’s a good read.

Fanfare

This new little USB computer to PC thingamabob is kind of neat. Of course you can always go to the amazingly handy and still updated Build Your Own PVR site that Rampy made quite a while ago.

The weblog katize has so many good posts, rather than choose just one I suggest you just visit the place.

Sugar mommies, daddies and babies

My brilliant plan is to quit my job and find myself a sugar mommy (sister site). I would not be mentioning this or even know of this site if it were not for NPR’s Marketplace. Classic!

Halloween Costumes For 2007

I’m trying to find a decent yet cheapo Halloween costume to wear when taking the kids out this year. Sadly, all of the ones in this Insane Asylum category are out of stock (and won’t fit me anyways, damn you chocolate!). Too bad, I liked a couple.

Betapet

This is a “Scrabble Online Inspired Word Game”. You need a free account and I can’t vouch for a lack of spam, I suggest using a throwaway email address. Fun game though!

This collection of photos depicting the World’s Most Beautiful Libraries is pretty amazing. My local has nothing on these.

Portal: The Flash Version

While not quite the same as its Orange Box cousin, the idea is sort of the same: Portal: The Flash Version.
