The Age Blogs: Chew on This

http://blogs.theage.com.au/lifestyle/chewonthis/

A really helpful Nutrition blog written by a Melbourne newspaper columnist. Great!

The best blog so far makes you think about the price of packaged foods, if you were to work them out on a per kilo basis. Those roasted artichokes don’t seem to pricey anymore!
Vegetables too pricey? Do the maths

Tickle’s Original Inkblot Test

Tickle’s Original Inkblot Test

Things you find whilst cleaning out your bookmarks. Still this inkblot test was still a little bit of fun.

Your Unconscious Mind Is Most Driven by Love.

Love

Your instinct to love and be loved is rooted very deeply in your subconscious and affects most of the decisions you make in life – whether you are aware of it or not. You inspire people to experience their true feelings of love and act kindly towards others. You also value your personal relationships more than most people.

Your unique capacity to love may be greater than those around you, which means you may have more to give in relationships than your friends or romantic partners do. Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are…

Users need to remember some sort of mental arithmetic or remember something to trigger the train to switch on and off.

The Hitachi site has a little bit more info as well.

So now you have no excuse. This lady’s website has ice cream, brownies, etc. Whilst I’ll turn vegan ‘in my own time’, this site has led me just that little bit closer.

Many Monitors Make Light Work

Oscar’s Multi-Monitor taskBar and Synergy are two monitor tools I’ve been needing for quite a while.

The first is a very useful multimonitor helper, that provides an additional taskbar for the second monitor in addition to providing a quick ‘send this window to the other monitor’ key shortcut and title bar buttons.

The second piece of software is kinda like a virtual kvm, whereby you can sit two pc’s and their monitors together and then only using one set of keyboard/mouse on the server pc, access and control the other one. Better still this one works on Windows, Linux and provides limited OS X support.

* The put all your eggs in one basket approach to eggs.
* The put all your eggs in one basket approach to baskets.

I’m not saying any of them are actually useful.

Where does this crap come from……
