## videos,paranoia
* [Here](http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-4097602514885833865) and [here](http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=6014022229458915912) - videos from Prof. James Duane and Officer George Bruch about why talking to the police is almost never a good idea.
* * *
## software
* [omploader](http://omploader.org/) - A place to upload files. It can also be done with a firefox extension or in a script.
* [Paperback](http://ollydbg.de/Paperbak/), from the [OllyDbg](http://www.ollydbg.de/) guy. This lets you store data on paper (about 500 KB for A4 at 600 DPI).
* * *
## web
* [HTML5 Canvas Experiment](http://9elements.com/io/?p=153) - Perhaps good for comparing different Javascript engines. It chokes on Firefox 3.5 on my Atom 330, but works well on 3.6.
* [drop.io](http://drop.io/) - A file sharing site which Wired mentioned because of its ability to set an expiration date on any file you upload. It also appears to have a collection of other, much cooler features for collaboration.
* * *
## programming,linux
* [Bash cures cancer](http://bashcurescancer.com) - Some helpful stuff for commandline Unix/Linux. It seems to have not been updated in about a year though.
* [Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!](http://learnyouahaskell.com/) - My friend Lincoln showed me this. Its a decent Haskell tutorial with some very oddball illustrations.
* [How to Design Programs](http://www.htdp.org/2003-09-26/) - A book, freely available online, which teaches software design using Scheme (or is it [DrScheme](http://www.drscheme.org/)?)
* [How to Design Worlds](http://world.cs.brown.edu/): Interactive Programming in DrScheme - Another freely available book from the same guys that made HtDP, but this one is about writing interactive applications using pure functional programming.
* * *
## games
* [Kongregate](http://www.kongregate.com/) - A large collection of rather addictive online Flash games.
* * *
## books
* [The Underground History of American Education](http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/underground/) by John Taylor Gatto; the full text is readable for free online. I havent read it, I just noted the link, so I can neither agree nor disagree with the contents of it.
* [Wishcraft](http://www.wishcraft.com/) by Barbara Sher; I came across this motivational book from [Havi Brooks](http://www.fluentself.com). I havent read this either, but I should at some point. Its free as a series of PDFs.
* * *
## food
* [Basic Beef Stew with Carrots and Mushrooms](http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1142004) - made this last week and Im noting it here so I can find it later. No, I dont use bookmarks.
* * *
## hippie
* [Living on NST - Nomadic Standard Time](http://www.technomadia.com/2009/08/nst-nomadic-standard-time/) - Some post from "Tales from Technomadia".
* * *
## something
* [Seth Godins Blog](http://sethgodin.typepad.com/) - I cant remember why I saved this, but it looks like its full of thought-provoking articles.
* [The bandwidth-sync correlation…](http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/08/the-bandwidth-sync-correlation-thats-worth-thinking-about.html) is worth looking at.
