Icon search engine. Some great stuff in there for designers.     #>


CNAME flattening. That is very clever, being able to use aliases (CNAMEs) for your root domain.     #>


Chef - Official Trailer. I'm in.

I tried a Japanese wonder toilet. Americans need to drastically rethink the way we clean our butts. I still have fond memories of the toilets at the company office in South Korea (as one of my cow-orkers delicately put it "oh yeah, the ass-showers!")     #>


Sleep Like the Dead Mattress Reviews. Not in the market for one but this looks pretty comprehensive.     #>


Exoskel Tactical Shin Protection. I was thinking "nifty and useful!" until I got to the price. Pretty sure I can modify a set of BMX or Motocross shin guards (or even hockey guards) and get something similar for 1/8 the price.     #>


Google, your IPv6-related email restrictions suck. Amen, I recently got bit by this with a new Linode instance (they assign IPv6 to their servers, which is great until you run into this.) There seems to be an easy fix with Postfix: Fixing Google's new IPv6 mail policy with Postfix and for Sendmail I had to add a line from here: How to stop Sendmail sending mail from IPv6 instead of IPv4.

e.g. if your IPv4 address is 1.2.3.4, specify:
CLIENT_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6,Addr=::ffff:1.2.3.4')dnl

It's especially frustrating because I do have a reverse PTR record, it was required to be able to send to Comcast. While Comcast seems ok with it Google just flat refuses mail no matter what I do.     #>


NPR - Borderland. Not sure what I was expecting but I really got pulled in and enjoyed this.     #>


Outdoors Retail Behemoth Cabela's Goes 'Fast & Light' With New Product Line. Good for them! I love REI but I can't help but think some competition will be good for customers.     #>
