Quasi-daily linkage
Román Cortés » Pure CSS Coke Can – Courtesy of a colleague; this is pretty awesome. Ubuntu 9.04 on Asus Eee PC 701 – Um, yes please. I'm totally doing this tonight or tomorrow. I'm unimpressed with Xandros on Tammy (my 701). Arthur Benjamin does "Mathemagic" | Video on TED.com – I'm going to have to stop posting 90% of the ones I watch, but damn, this guy is good. Charles Fleischer insists: All things are Moleeds | Video on TED.com – This guy is hilarious.

Quasi-daily linkage
A new “onload” scheme – Easy! Reader – This is a really clever way to avoid having page-specific JavaScript files (which I've done on larger projects). Tomorrow’s Women, Tomorrow’s World – A more British look at the decline of women in the IT industry. Clients From Hell : Of course I want it today! If I want it tomorrow,… – Um, yes.

Tastee (del.icio.us) links!
These are my links for June 15th through June 18th: xkcd – A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language – By Randall Munroe – Everyone probably already reads xkcd, but I loved this one.

I'd probably be arrested if I had a penis, too. An important issue? « I?m just saying? – This author (professor?) and a group of students set up an exhibit exploring white privilege at Seattle Pacific University. I always love discussions of white privilege for the different…

Tastee (del.icio.us) links!
These are my links for May 4th through May 27th: migrating email to Gmail – I just moved this domain's email to Google's hosted apps, including their gmail interface. The issue was, of course, that I had years of emails stored from IMAP that I wanted in gmail for searchability. This thread in the DreamHost forums offers two wor Tips for Building Your GM Notebook – Treasure Tables – I've started a GM notebook for the game I'm running for Greg. So far — just one session, and far from a completed book — it's been a big help. So what IS D&D anyway? : Critical Hits – One of…
