Steve Jobs - Thoughts on Flash#
Undoubtedly you'll see another link to this one, but Steve Jobs publicly defends Apple's position on Flash. It's a well constructed piece, and finishes even better: "New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind."

Smitten Kitchen - Homemade Pop Tarts#
I know at least one Pop-Tart lover who would probably love to eat these, but is too lazy to make them. Well, if you include me in that, then there's two.

Transmit 4.0#
I've been beta testing it for the past few months. If you own a Mac, and ever do any sort of FTP, you should buy this software. I love the new Transmit Disk they added in this version. Hot stuff. Great work by a great company.

Axis Of Awesome - 4 Four Chord Song (YouTube)#
Basically, this whole compilation of songs uses the same 4 chords. Rewind for the lame intro and cussing (and my apologies for profanities later on).

LIFE Photo Gallery: The Day Einstein Died#
I'm fascinated by Einstein, and previously noted how much I enjoyed Walter Isaacson's biography of him. These photos, at least two of the initial three, continue to help paint of picture of who he was. Very interesting.

The Wizard of Oz - Novelization Book Art#
A wonderful collection of mock book art for a novelization of The Wizard of Oz. If you can get visually past the weird animated graphics on the page, you'll see just how awesome the work is.

A size comparison of 100 characters from various Pixar films/shorts. I can hear my kids watching WALL E as I type.
