links: tech stuff

Listeningtowords, free lectures from around the web.

How About Orange suggests Picnik online photo editing software. Also, free fonts from Eduardo Recife.

Emergency wind-up flashlight with cell phone charger, for that pile of stuff I’m going to need to start stockpiling after reading this.

Belkin PocketTop, it looks perfect for that laptop I do not own.

How many is a few? at Ask Metafilter.

Thanks for the digital camera link among other things… . I’m in the market for a new one, and I’m considering the Canon powershot s3.

i’ve played with picnik and think it’s great.

also, one thing i’d add to the top 10 list (number 11) — if you’re buying a camera — if you can afford it, get a camera with manual, aperture and shutter priorty settings. a lot of pocket digitals have them.

When I lived in FL and Hurricane Wilma hit I happened to have a wind-up radio with a cell phone charger. It SAVED my sanity. Never mind my cell was out for close to a month due to limited/no service in our area.

We had no electricity for 10 days anywhere near us and the radio was a freaking lifesaver.

Seriously Megan, a lifesaver!

That Stranger article made me hide in the crawlspace, Megan. N95 masks and franks n’ beans instead of treat bags at my next birthday party. DAMN. No, it was a chilling, informative read and I am going to order that flashlight too. And then go get back in the crawlspace.
