This comment is more here for myself than for anyone else, as I keep on forgetting about them just because I don’t have them documented anywhere:
1. bit.ly – You would not believe (or maybe you would) how much this URL shortener has come in handy lately to quickly and easily customize URLs to give to my students. At one point I customized something with the student’s name because the student was afraid that he would forget by the time he got home. You can’t forget your name, now can you?
2. zamzar.com – Free online file conversion. I have found this especially useful to turn YouTube videos and the like into mp3 files and to simply download videos that would not normally be downloadable. I know there are other websites out there that do this, but Zamzar keeps a record for you rather than just a one time conversion. Nice.
3. I think that the video below is awesome, so awesome that I figured even if you didn’t appreciate my two comments above, you would appreciate the video.
