What If Shakespeare Wrote Computer Manuals?

The Top 9 Quotes From Shakespeare's Computer Manual

9. Sleep seldom visits whilst surfing; when it doth,
It is usually in school the next day.
[Tempest: II, i]

8. Some are born great,
Some achieve greatness,
But most are stuck with Windows.
[Twelfth Night: III, iv]

7. O happy Firewire plug!
This is thy socket; there connect,
and let my data transfer.
[Romeo and Juliet: V, iii]

6. I'll be as patient as a gentle stream with thee,
For I know the error to be an I-D-10-T.
[Two Gentleman of Verona: II, vi]

5. All that lives must die,
Passing through folders to trash.
[Hamlet: I, ii]

4. He that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.
Therefore shalt thou encrypt all thine passwords.
[Othello: III, iii]

3. Pop-ups die many times before their deaths;
An unsaved document but once.
[Julius Caesar: II, ii]

2. My flames fly up, my civilities remain below:
Words without thoughts never to newsgroups post.

1. To mourn a mischief that is past and gone
Is the next way to draw new mischief on.
Therefore subject line this one:
I LOVE THEE, and to all in address book forward along.
[Othello: I, iii]

Mega-Search Engine For Job Hunters

It’s fast, easy, nifty and cool. I did a search for keywords in my area and found current job listings from Monster, America’s Job Bank, Career Center, USA Jobs, HotJobs, and more.

Search for a phrase by putting it in quotes. You can see the age of the listing under each item, as well as where it's from. When you click on a link, you go to the original listing.

Fast, simple, and it works. Not bad. They even have a blog.

Calling All Macgyver Fans!

How about a magazine that teaches you how to make so much with so little, that soon you'll be able to make anything out of nothing!

These folks teach you how to make stuff that's high-impact for you, low-impact for the planet. Turn a detergent bottle into a watering can, grow your garden with steeped tea leaves and spent coffee grinds, and make backyard loungers out of one of the 500 million shipping pallets that are manufactured in the United States every year, then kicked to the curb.

You'll also find tips for how to bring more green into you home (a twig candelabra! A floral foam vase! Saint Paddy's day flowers) and get a primer on a project everyone should do at least once: plant a tree.
