Secret Weapon Notes: Volume 2

Rumors of my demise, are sorely mistaken. I blame purchasing the Da Vinci code at CostCo for my recent disappearance. There’s much to speak of, but here for your perusal:

• Did you ever need the names of 700 hoboes? http://www.areasofmyexpertise.com/hoboes.html [Found http://drawn.ca/2005/11/06/700-hoboes/]
• There are some noteworthy Google Calendar tips here
• Have you backed up your Mac recently, you should. Here’s an easy way to do it
• Here’s a daring fireball, from Daring Fireball, blowing a new @$$hole through mainstream journalism.
• Fellow graphic designers and digital artists, do you miss making your viewing public squint? You can get your fix of free Style-Force Semplic Pixelfonts here. They are very cool, for the record.
• If you’re building a web-app, don’t forget the premium plan [Found via 37signals]
• If you’ve ever needed a cheatsheet for developing/writing CSS, JavaScript, Hecodes, XHTML, HTML entities and others (including databases), this may be your new puppy.

That’s all for now, I’m off to finish the Da Vinci Code…

   Careful. Dan Brown’s books are addicting. I also recommend Angels and Demons. Also excellent.

   (I recommend Deception Point too, but it doesn’t have Robert Langdon in it.)

   I finished The Da Vinci Code and after a little interesting investigation, with two sources,
   i’ve moved on to Angels & Demons and am getting sucked in, yet again!

   Thanks for the suggestion.
