The Internet in 99 Links

6 Mar

Happy Friday, everyone. I’m off to the basement of the University of Minnesota’s Wilson Library, which is where I go when I need to take a break from the internet (wireless for students only!).

One reason for the internet break is I spent all of Tuesday morning binging on this:

Greg Rutter’s Definitive List of the 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced on the Internet Unless You’re a Loser or Old or Something

Have a fine weekend!
