Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

fujikawa-350 It was more than any single person could bare to look at. All this soup and one small runt of a raccoon baby to eat it. There was buttered toast as well, with jam and a side of these links.

Render Robot Illustration – If you don’t look at Norio Fujikawa’s portfolio, you will kick yourself in the face repeatedly. Rippin’ SWEET.
Easily Pin Folders – Vista has some annoying qualities. Pinning folders to the start menu is one of them. Here’s the easy way.
Coraline – Heralded and the most visually stunning 3D experience yet, this ~~Tim Burton~~ Henry Selick movie even has a cool website. Check it out, go see the flick.
Ultimate Computer Repair Utility – This all-in-one, self-contained set of programs will be an asset for any computer cleanin’ geek.***
Amplified Journeys – Cool new site from harmon/kardon. Put your travel route, music preference and get a playlist. great way to find new tunes.
30+ Sites When You’re Laid-Off – Now, somebody just needs to roll these into one site, but no need to be picky.
Easy Photoshop Color replacement – easy? really easy.

Update: the original site for the repair kit had to take the zip file down, but you can still put it together from the list.

Rod_Uding February 20, 2009 at 7:42 am: I question how toasters have formed a mob in the capitol of Iceland. Any how, here is me commentary on this post

Render Robot Illustration: Its cool, it Japanese. I like it!

Pin Folders: Extra Handy Windows Tip. PS: I believe the How-To-Geek is a guest contributor/editor on Lifehacker now

Coraline: Wil Wheaton blogged on it, nuff said.

Ultimate Computer Repair Utility: Damn awesome list of tools. Bookmarked and will start gathering the tools to build my own USB stick with the goodies.

Amplified Journeys: If I had an iPod it would be neat.

Photshop color replacement: I am always amazed by what this program can do.
Bradley Grzesiak February 20, 2009 at 10:06 am: Regarding the ultimate computer repair utility, I definitely agree with JKDefrag. Good stuff. I'd also add WinDirStat (http://windirstat.info/), a utility that visually describes how files take up space on your hard drive.
Josh M February 20, 2009 at 4:11 pm: Thanks for the other program Brad! Looks GREAT.
Dave Moore February 20, 2009 at 8:12 pm: For all the Mac users out there check out Disk Inventory X. Looks the same as WDS.
Bradley Grzesiak February 21, 2009 at 8:39 am: The biggest reason I've used WinDirStat is to find those pesky COSMOSWorks/Simulation results files that are tucked away in folders which I've forgotten about. With WinDirStat, they show up as giant blobs that are impossible to miss.

Josh M February 23, 2009 at 8:10 am: you're correct. my bad. Henry Selick did inded direct it, as well as Christmas. Christmas was a Burton production, hence some misinformation floating around on the interwebs. thanks.
