Billy Boy

After watching Bill Clinton talk on Sunday (Transcript). I’m reminded of how well the ex-President speaks. Of course it’s always interesting to hear Clinton talk about his actions during his presidency. Follow up by Keith Olbermann found here.

Down and Out text as poster!

You have no excuses for not reading Corey Doctorow’s excellent Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom yet. Why, because it’s free and available in several digital formats! Plus it comes in cool and artsy poster size as well. Now if I could only find poster sized cover art from the book.

Free Partitioning Software

Make it look old for that “worn film look”
