1. Gravatar - Globally Recognized Avatars (via):

   A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from blog to blog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on blogs?

   They uniquely identify you by your e-mail address and offer plugins for popular blogging software that hook into their system. Neat.

2. Michelin reinvents the wheel? (via). I'll believe it when I see a video of a prototype car going highway speeds.

1. Perl 6 1.0 in March? It's taken forever but from some of the stuff I've seen, Perl 6 looks like it'll be a terribly fun (and powerful) language to code in.

   Update: Misread... Parrot 1.0 is scheduled for March, not Rakudo 1.0 (i.e. Perl 6).

2. AJAX Chat - Open Source Web Chat. Very cool open source chat client. It's like IRC on a web page.

Bad Religion - Sorrow (acoustic)

Bad Religion - Sorrow (acoustic). Apparently a bonus track on the Japanese release of the album "The Process of Belief".

Edit: The one I linked to is a different acoustic version than the one I'd first heard, which was released on their "New Maps of Hell" album.

Edit: neat you can play it and other songs right from Bad Religion's MySpace page.

Free image hosting sites

Looking for a free image hosting site to upload some throwaway images to that'd let me hotlink them for posting on forums and such.

• TinyPic
• PiccDrop
• ImageShack

It seems TinyPic and PiccDrop don't even require you to have an account, and both let you hotlink. ImageShack requires the former and disallows the latter, so far as I know.
