On busy weeks (as this one has been) I do less surfing and seeking out fun links. So you’re more likely to get the techie and boring stuff that I’m looking at. Just so’s you know.
Some thoughtful person gives you the ins and outs of your first purchase of your own domain name. Maybe you think you don’t need one (and maybe you don’t).

Want to send someone a large file and you don’t want to send it via emai? Is it too big for dropload’s 100 MB limit? Try YouSendIt. The limit there is 1GB.

Like Mailinator, if you need to give out an email address to receive information, but don’t want to give out YOUR email address, just make one up on the fly at Dodgeit.com. It’s explained here. Better than Mailinator, you can then subscribe to that email address by RSS feed! So, watch it in Bloglines.
If you can, work the word “chemiluminesce” into conversation today. “Martha, I do believe that your eyes are positively chemiluminescing this evening.”
