Remaindered Links

• When is it time to to stop making pennies? When it costs 1.4 cents to produce each one.
• USATODAY is taking a bloggy approach to current news with On Deadline. They even have comments running, although there aren't many takers. (One reason why: The postings are in 3rd person newspaper voice, not first person blogger voice.)
• GTD Wannabe, in an older post that I've had sitting around for a while, has some good advice on backing up your Outlook 2003 data.
• The New Yorker cartoon caption contest is worth a bookmark.
• How to fold a t-shirt in five seconds (video, via LH).
• Brent Edwards has some smart things to say about email use.

Remaindered Links

Some links I've had sitting in my del.icio.us "post" tag for a while:

• Enron's website is still active. (I wonder if there's a web designer out there with expertise in bankruptcy content?)
• Google's music search. Type the name of a band into Google's search bar and see what you get. Click the band name and see albums, album art, track titles ... even reviews. Very cool.
• An impressive video of what the touch-screen-based personal computer of the future may be like.
• Netdiver's best web designs of 2005 (via Joho).
• The amazing Ledovakrasa ice sculptures.
• GetHuman.com aggregates the fastest ways to break out of automated customer service systems and talk to a human being (via Joho).
• Beermapping.com puts Google Maps to another good use (via RB).

And if you're in the Northeast today, enjoy the day off. (Me, I'm in Chicago, which had some six inches of snow last night. I travel home this afternoon. How are my chances? Kate, though, will be enjoying her snow day as her school is closed and for that I'm glad ...)
