The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments, “What happens when you combine 200 liters of Diet Coke and over 500 Mentos mints? It’s amazing and completely insane.” WJW. F’in awesome.
sudokubundle is a set of sudoku-related packages for LaTeX.
The Architecture of Fight Club, must see yourself. Awesome, somehow.
OpenXMLDeveloper.org is a site for people interested in Office’s new file format.

Unlockupd works around a bug in lookupd, a system service which is required for proper operation of Mac OS X. If lookupd fails, the system quickly becomes unusable.
