64 Things Every Geek Should Know - LaptopLogic.com
Cool article that covers a lot of things that people should know - whether you mind being called a geek or not. Very interesting reading.
If you can stomach the fact that they said P2P was Person to Person instead of Peer to Peer in #1 and the fact that these link to other articles that you have to dig into, it is still worth reading.

Kim is one of the leaders and organizers of the sounding board program.

15 Awesome Tutorial Websites You Probably Don't Know About | Dumb Little Man
Great post sharing 15 tutorial websites, over half of which I'd never heard of. This is a gem of a post and again tells us why we need access to things we've never heard of and how teachers and IT departments need a little more access than students to check these things out first (i.e. conditional filtration.)
