A cheap imitation of a blog, trying to keep track of things that I find interesting on any given day.

  • GovTrack.org, a site that tracks the law-making process for the US; what government should really be like...
  • Copyright-Watch, tracking changes in that ailing law worldwide.
  • EFF "Take-down Hall of Shame", highlighting some pretty amusing copyright infringement claims.
  • Photoshop Disasters - probably more fun when it was first created, it's still quite entertaining (and a really good place to go before you start thinking of retouching photos for public consumption).

  • TrueCrypt, software-based disk encryption that can be used on several operating systems and, to a certain extent, on removable media in "portable mode" (requiring admin rights on a windows machine, limited to 2GB volumes on Windows Fat32 drives) or
  • FreeOTFE, software-based disk encryption for Windows, also limited by Fat32 and admin rights but with "Explorer" program available for non-Administrator use.
  • Hardware-encrypted USB drives in general

  • Windows AIK, enabling you to create USB boot disks really really painlessly (assuming you have a Vista machine handy for the partitioning).

2009-12-18

  • Tableau, a visualization-oriented BI tool attempting to combine the ease of Excel with the graphical power and interactivity of something like GapMinder.org

2009-11-25

  • WakeMate, a little gadget that would track your movements at night and help you understand sleep patterns... maybe?

  • Ambient Music Player, the only (surviving?) open-source media player for Android as far as I can tell.
