Here is just a quick tip for those who like to eat out or order-in a lot.
If you go to http://www.restaurant.com/ and simply type in your zip code, you will be shown a variety of gift cards on sale for restaurants around your area. Commonly, you can find a $10 gift card for $5, or a $25 gift card for $10. You simply buy it online, print it out and use it. Watch out for some of the restrictions though on the gift cards. Some only let you use it on certain days, or they have a minimum amount allowed to be spent, and sometimes they even include the time. But overall, you are still coming out on top.
Check out http://www.dealmein.net for updated coupon codes (and as well as tons of deals from all other sites, probably one of my favorite deal sites). You can usually save a lot more on what you’re already saving.
As of 8/17/07: If you checkout, use the coupon code “LESSON” and you will get 50% off your order. If you plan on buying in the future, simple search Google for “restaurant.com coupon codes” to get an up-to-date code or again, check http://www.dealmein.net.
With a little over a month left before all my shows finally come back, I’ve been occupying my time by watching online documentaries. These are mostly commercial free versions of documentaries shown on the various channels which broadcast this type of content.
Here is a list of the some of the sites that I often use to find online documentaries.

If you’re looking for quick and free solution for remote desktop software, no need to look any farther. I recently came across a free service from LogMeIn. In the past when using VNC, I had to map it to port 80, 21, or any other highly used port that my work couldn’t block. I always hated the idea that my PC sat there with an open port such as port 80.
Here is where LogMeIn is different than your traditional remote desktop software suites. It utilizes 256-bit SSL encryption thus removing the need to firewall changes (assuming you have a standard, non-strict firewall). You then simply go to the website and log in. It will list your computer(s) that are available to be connected to.
It works with both Vista (though not advertised to, I’ve been using it for awhile with no issues) and XP and best of all it’s FREE.
I know that a simple Google search reveals similar sites, but I thought that I’d bring it to the attention of everyone here in case they might have missed it.

The Superb Lyrebird (Menura Novaehollandiae) is a pheasant-sized songbird, up to 100 cm long, with brown upper body plumage, grayish brown below, rounded wings and strong legs. It is the longest and third heaviest of all songbirds.
I know, who cares right? We’ve been to them a million times. But trust me, for some reason, this is cool.
