Transformer Costumes that Really Transform
These people must have way too much time and money on their hands, but I admire the creativity!? This is amazing.

Free Audio Book and Podcast Downloads
I love to listen to audio books and podcasts while I’m driving, mowing, washing the dishes, or doing anything else that doesn’t require much mental energy.
PickTheBrain has a list of sources for free audio material.
I use iTunes to find most of the podcasts that I listen to. Lately I’ve been listening to:
- Buzz Out Loud from CNET
- DTS Chapel
- FLOSS Weekly
- Gmail Podcast
- MacBreak Weekly
- NPR: Car Talk
- NPR: Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me
- Nuclearity
- Security Now!
- Stand to Reason
- Steve Brown, etc.
- This Week in Tech
- Windows Weekly
- World Vision Report

Cool site: BetterExplained.com
I was drawn to this site by A Visual Guide to Version Control, but there are also articles about Ruby on Rails, natural logarithms, and other topics related to numbers, programming, and business and communication—all areas that I’m interested in.
Free Antivirus/Antimalware Super-Scanner
If someone sends you a file (or you download a questionable file) and you really want to be sure that the file is safe, try out VirusTotal.
VirusTotal is “a service that analyzes suspicious files and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware detected by antivirus engines”. You upload or email a file to them, and they scan it with a bunch of antivirus programs.
They currently list 32 companies whose antivirus engines are used.
This is certainly not a replacement for running antivirus software on your machine, since it only scans individual files that you submit.
Cool IBM Services site
I especially like the video where you click on Solutions Menu, then click on the drive-through video link at the top.
ScienceHack: Cool science videos online
every science video on ScienceHack is screened by a scientist to verify its accuracy and quality
I especially like the one where a cannonball is dropped into a tank of mercury (in the Physics category).
Web sites that save money
Trent at The Simple Dollar has a lot of tips on saving money. I especially liked this post about web sites.
