- Thirty Tables of Contents - Easier than actually opening books. (-)
- Concharto - An atlas of historical events, which uses Google Maps and can be edited by anyone. I’m going to map out West Virginia as the place where Hillary Clinton staged her come-from-behind win to snag the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Historic, historic! (-)
- The Giant Pool of Money - The entire episode of This American Life is dedicated to detailing just what happened to lead us into this global credit crunch. The answer couldn’t be simpler. (2)
- How to Go Green and Save Money - Don't use those stupid plastic shopping bags. (-)
- Mahalo: How to Go Green in Your Kitchen - Aside from the remodel information, I’m glad that we do most of what is on that list. I don’t yet compost (our neighborhood has strict rules on this) but I am looking into a small compost bin I can use in the backyard. (-)
- Amazon didn’t collect sales tax in TX despite having a presence there. - This sucks for TX residents who will now have to pay sales tax on all Amazon purchases. (1)
- Consumerist: It’s Now Completely Impossible To Sell A Laptop On Ebay - Wait, people still try to buy and sell stuff on Ebay? I haven’t even visited that site in a few years. Cesspool. (-)
- Ni Hao, Kai-lan - The new-ish Nick Jr. show where kids learn Mandarin Chinese. My friend Matt writes and produces all of the songs for each episode. It’s actually fun to watch! (Update: changed the main link to YouTube where you can actually watch the show.) (-)

A live recording of Smith singing Angeles. ISO50 passes along the info that it is apparently recorded live in that living room.
More Elliott Smith goodness from ISO50 here and, of course, Emusic.

- Once the narrative, always the narrative - “Every time McCain screws up, the media jump all over themselves to make it better, as if grandpa had said something embarrassing at the dinner table and it needed to be smoothed over as quickly as possible.” (-)
- Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova on Fresh Aire - The oft absent Terry Gross interviews the duo. They’re coming to Raleigh and I’m considering picking up a couple of tickets to the sold-out show on StubHub. (-)
- Pig to man, man to pig. - As if North Carolina needed yet another convincing reason to push Obama to the nomination. (-)
- AppMenuBoy - Returns the Dock application menu to Leopard. It “shows only applications, follows aliases, and if a folder contains only an application, it silently “hoists” that application in the menu so you don’t have hierarchical menus that contain only a single icon.” (-)
