Warchalking

Lo-Fi Wi-Fi finding. I swear I heard the term warchalking a few months back but I wasn't really paying attention. I then accidently stumbled across it again the other day through I don't know what google search and I got reading - such a friendly lo-tec approach to wi-fi networking. Interesting.

Last Exit To Springfield

Last exit to Springfield - for all your Simpsons needs. Extremely neat site including the worryingly large episode guide, the seemingly endless image galleries, not to mention dates and times for up-coming episodes in 3 countries (USA, UK, Oz).

CSS

A quick reference guide to CSS2 from the superb devguru. A timely find as it's saved me a fiver or so on the not so up-to-date O'Reilly CSS reference I was about to buy.
