HDClone Free Edition download and review – copy data to a larger hard drive from SnapFiles—another good thing to have around for future use. I haven’t tried it out, but it looks as though it could be a good tool.

The column includes lesson plans and ideas that focus on reading Dr. Seuss books in the classroom, including a lesson that uses The Cat in the Hat to discuss id, ego, and superego.

How To Make a Secret Hollow Book: – How To Do Stuff—I’m horribly entertained by the idea of creating one of these. The problem is that I’d want it to be a book that was in some way meaningful. A random book from a garage sale just won’t do. But I’m never going to be willing to cut up a book that I actually care about. Such difficulties.

One Bag (all about packing, luggage, and travelling light)—given that I’m about the worst at packing in one bag or packing the right things for the trip at hand, this seemed like a useful link to save.

Maybe I can gather some travel wisdom from this site.
