Here's a few nifty and/or useful and/or stupid computer-related things I came across in the reading. Specific categorization is left as an exercise for the reader:

  1. Here's an interesting UTF-8 stress test to see how your renderer deals with malformed code points. At first glance, Firefox seems to do pretty well.
  2. It seems that among many other design failures, no one thought about RFID viruses when designing them.
  3. Someone has created a scrolling LED bra. I'm sure it has 1001 uses.
  4. The Linux Kernel Configuration Archive is intended to tell you enough about obscure kernel parameters so you know whether to turn them on or not. I wish I had known about this before.
  5. Here's a cute website that shows the path your email took to get to you, plotted on a Google map.
My brain is starting to fade, so I guess I'll post the rest tomorrow.
