See what happens when you can't sleep? You finally catch up on your Bloglines reading. Sort of. ;)
- Because We Can't Get Enough of "Come Hither Bill"
The irreplaceable Joey deVilla does a lovely rendition of "Teen Beat" Gates. Warning: do not drink while watching this, please protect your nose. - Answers.com
I don't know how I missed this until now, but - incredible resource. Searches over 100 sources - including dictionaries, medical journals, Wikipedia, thesaurii and more for the answers to your queries. I LOVE this site! Bookmark it - right now! - Passive Income: How to Earn More and Work Less
Some really great ideas here. A good chunk of my income is passive-ish, and that helps a great deal particularly during times of crisis, illness, or any other time I need a few days off. - Ukrainian hasn't slept in 20 years
I'm torn between feeling badly for this guy and feeling jealous - imagine how much MORE you could get done with an extra 8 hours a day! - BillyBag.com
Pretty, pretty handbags. Me wanty. - Businesses ranked by level of risk
"Non-store retailers (# 112) includes the numerous multi-level sales and marketing ventures which publicize high profits, but are near the bottom of the list for the likelihood of achieving profitability." Wish more people read this. - collision detection: Can you think better when you're typing?
Interesting study, more interesting comments. For me, it's been a slow process, but I'm finally at the point where I type much faster than I write (writing just takes too damned long). - Why you should never put your picture on the Internet
It's maybe a little mean fun, but there's some great (and not so great) Photoshop work here - and also an explanation why all you ever see of angie mckaig is the legs. ;) - Flavor Paper
Delicious, handmade wallpaper for your home in dozens of incredi-retro styles and colors. I swear we had some of these in my home growing up. ;) - lovelydesign. products.
Some really spiffy stationery products made from found and recycled paper. - Getting Unstuck
Some great design tips here. I make heavy use of #1 (I am rarely able to make someone else's design work - I'm better off working from my head) and #4 (I usually end up on a 1:3 ratio of success to tries). - N-sane - Photoshop Tutorials
Good selection of Photoshop tutorials, particularly for getting that very techno look. - What the Bubble Got Right
Interesting reading, and probably more informed than the "massmedia" articles on the subject. - RetroOnline
Amazing retro products. I *love* the retro door curtains. I totally want a set.

I found Answers.com a while back and immediately found it much more useful than Dictionary.com or other similar sites. I really like the cross linking of additional resources like free pronunciations, encyclopedia and Wikipedia entries, and translations. I've also created a bookmarklet for Answers.com that you guys might find useful—it should work in just about any browser. It's also interesting to note that Google has recently switched to Answers for it's definitions service.
No links eh? Ok well, if your interested in the bookmarklet Angie, I'll be happy to email it to you.

Hey, no fair!
Now I'LL have to miss some sleep to work through these links!! ;-)
