Smorgasbord of short links



  • You need some TSA luggage tags, don't you? BoingBoing reader paul says, "A friend's mom found these luggage tags on clearance at Target for $1.98. "Link.

  • You need a World Trade Center disaster preparedness kit, don't you? Link.

  • Yelp + Google Maps = tool that allows you to find lunch near your place of work. (corrected) Link.

  • Bulletproof Baby Gear. Link.

  • Exactly how does the Wikipedia Scanner tool work? Link.

  • Remember the Google Video refund debacle? Google realizes it screwed up, and is now offering to re-refund customers: Link.

  • Blogger at Runners World celebrates one year anniversary of his brain aneurysm with a splendid "brain cake." In this post, he urges others to have an ID tag of some sort when they run alone, just in case something happens. Link.

  • Kathryn Cramer says, "A few weeks ago, when I was visiting the Cahokia mounds, a World Heritage site and once a city of 20,000 about a thousand years ago, I checked the place out on Google Earth and discovered a mound in the elevation data that had been torn down in the 1960s. So what we have here is essentially the digital ghost of an ancient Indian artifact." Link.

    (Thanks, Choire, Mike G., James, Ivan, JFR, Mary!)
