The contact lenses that could restore 20/20 vision - sounds interesting. Although I have been wearing my glasses for decades and they don't really bother me. Could I sleep with contact lenses?

3 awesome free Math programs - Short introductions to the major players in the open source environment.
A 10 minute tutorial for solving Math problems with Maxima - very interesting, Maxima seems to be much further along than when I first saw it.
Linux.com | Encrypt and sign Gmail messages with FireGPG - could be interesting. However, I still don't like Firefox on the Mac - it's just not a Mac application in behavior.
MailTags - interesting plugin that allows you to tag emails (in Mail.app).
Pistol Shrimp - wow. 100km/h fast water, at 5000°C temperature (for a brief moment).
Relocating iTunes Music Libraries to Removable/External Storage Media - this might allow me to place my iTunes Library on the server and only keep a part on my local drive. However, I would then have to sort the music myself. Too bad iTunes can't simply mount remote libraries, then I could save myself the trouble and move rarely played songs to another library.
wxMaxima - a GUI for Maxima. Should also compile on OS X.
RTL won't let itself be copied - and here I am thinking: "You don't even want RTL's garbage for free" ...
TV Ad Sound Levels - why some ads sound louder than the program, even though they are not.
UBERWACH! - funny action. Turn the tables and monitor the monitors!
Google Gears for WebKit - an interesting approach to providing web applications locally. Basically just a smart cache, nothing more. But sometimes these low-tech approaches are simply the most efficient solutions. And nicely, they also have the whole thing ready for WebKit in the source - the downloads are only for the Mozilla family so far (and of course once again nothing for Camino).
HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc copyable again - Hare and Hedgehog.
Personal History: How I Spent the War - Günther Grass on his time in the Waffen SS.
trackback - commandline client for trackbacks.
