Things that I'm about to read, but haven't yet. (Using my blog to bookmark later stuff):
Technorati generates a listing of the most-blogged items on Amazon.
StandAlone RSS aggregator for PalmOS (though Plucker seems to do a similar thing for free with HTML)
O'Reilly Conference notes: Why tech/dev/research teams need more women on them.

Things I've Looked at But About Which I Haven't Formed Anything Clever to Say
For those who are interested, Hedr's Book List.
On the other end of the scale, good christ, can't we go kick North Korea's ass, please? Crimes against humanity, and biological weapon research, ga-fucking-lore. If Saddam was in need of having his people liberated, Kim Il Jong's subject are all up for free trips to a buffet and a day-pass to Disneyland.
