Linkfest — 02-13-2010

Posted Sat Feb 13, 2010 in Links

I begin my “linkfests” early in the week — sometimes Saturday night after they post, sometimes I start them on Sunday morning during my weekly reverie, and sometimes later in the week. It just depends on when I begin the process of poking around the World Wide time-Waster, I mean World Wide Web… yeah, that’s it.

In any event, this one happened to start Sunday morning while I was puttering in my workroom. In the immortal words of Mario, “here we go!”

1. This NAS Newsletter is pretty weird. It uses publications from NAS to track the president’s state of the union speech. That strikes me as odd.
2. The Que reader is the next in the Plastic Logic lineup. I haven’t had a chance to research it (yet), but it might be interesting when it’s released.
3. The University of Ottawa Writing Centre is a marvelous grammar resource. I stumbled on them completely by accident, but what a serendipity! :)
4. It’s silliness, but still funny.
5. The nook is a much more capable device than it first appears. Access to improved applications does require hacking the system, though.
