Some of My Fave Stumbles This Week

As I've mentioned before, one of my favorite things to do when I'm taking a break from my work is to visit random sites around the Net using StumbleUpon.

Since I'm especially worn out from transcribing too much this week, I'm just going to be lazy and offer up my favorite stumbles for the week:

This guy has a great idea. Why didn't someone think of it sooner?

Wired Gadget has this great variety of three-column templates for Blogger. Very handy. Because if you've ever tried to convert a two-column template to a three, you know - unless you're an HTML genius - it's a pain in the you-know-what.

And finally, I found this great online tutoring site ALEKS.com. I had heard from some forum buddies that it was great. So I checked it out, and now I'm thinking about signing up one of my kids for a month of math tutoring. It's a lot less expensive than hiring one to come to the house or going to some place like Sylvan. I was really impressed with the website. I'll keep you updated on how that works out.
