• Creating a bubble logo for your web site

  “So you have just started your own website or blog and you are looking to make a logo or a header for yourself. Do you want to use cool bubble letters or another text style? You can either go to Photoshop, its open source equivalent, Gimp or an online generator to spit out your letters easily.”

• Netbook Reader: Library on your computer

  “Even more amazing is a simple Adobe Air application for Linux, Mac and Windows which can give you almost instant access to any of these works. The somewhat confusingly named NetBook Reader is perhaps better called Netbook Library, because that’s what it is: an instant library for your netbook or any other computer. The Netbook Reader software allows you to quickly search all of Project Gutenberg and then read any text you find almost instantly. Best of all, it will cache content you download for offline reading later.”

• Run Your Own Free Proxy Through the Google App Engine – Google Apps – Lifehacker

Building Your Resiliency Part IV: Iceberg Ahead! | The Art of Manliness.

Yet again the Art 0f Manliness fails to disappoint.  This article gave me some great perspectives on my own “icebergs” and how I’ve been reacting to them.  A must read!

When you get looking for leaders, you’ll notice there are several types of people. Some are genuine leaders. Some are in leadership positions, but they aren’t really leaders. Some aren’t in a leadership position but think they should be. So what are the signs that indicate you’re not really a leader?

1. You’re waiting on a bigger staff and more money to accomplish your vision.
2. You think you need to be in charge to have influence.
3. You’re content.
4. You tend to foster division instead of generating a helpful dialogue.
5. You think you need to say something to be heard.
6. You find it easier to blame others for your circumstances than to take responsibility for solutions.
7. It’s been some time since you said, “I messed up.”
8. You’re driven by the task instead of the relationships and the vision.
9. Your dreams are so small, people think they can be achieved.
10. No one is following you.

• Is the Pilot G2 the Best Pen :: OfficeSupplyGeek – Reviews of the Best Cool and Unique Home Office Supplies

  “The Pilot G2 Gel Ink Pen is one of the most popular pens out there according to various sources. If you believe their own packaging, it is the #1 selling pen in America, it is currently in the #1 spot on Amazon’s list of Top Pens and Refills, and is #1 on the Amazon list of Top Rollerball Pens as well. Personally, I’ve never been a huge fan, which seems to go against commonly accepted opinion among people who enjoy their pens.”
