I came across a complete G4 Cube and just had to do something with it. Just a little searching brought me to Cubeowner where I found a nice tutorial. It's installing now.
Here is a link to the Debian install ISO.

Identity Theft Poster
I came across this poster in my local post office and couldn't help but think how hard it will be for this guy to pass himself off as a "Mary Smith".

Microsoft Security Sites
Microsoft has a couple sites that offer good information for Home users to keep there information safe. Microsoft Security At Home has information about email scams, password safety and machine security.
The Microsoft Password checker will give you a good idea of how strong your passwords are and how strong they should be.
Unfortunately most people coming to these sites don't need this information. What we really need is a way to get people who NEED this information to READ this information.

Zendesk Helpdesk Software
I noticed a Google ad for Zendesk the other day so I thought I should add them to my list of links on the sidebar. I have no experience with the software but the page is nice and who would like something with "zen" in the title?

Firefox Addons: Better Gmail 2
Better Gmail 2 is a great Firefox addon that can do a few nice things for Gmail. Most importantly it can force an encrypted connection (https). But it also has various skins to brighten up the Gmail interface. I highly recommend it.
