Want to try out your culinary skills on something new? Boing Boing provides this handy link to a recipe for kitty litter cake. Mmm, mmm.
And if that whets your appetite for strange foodstuffs, there exists a whole compendium of bizzare recipes for your dining enjoyment. Go give the "chunky cat barf" a try.
Courtesy of PocketGear, I've come across a nifty little free application called Metro, which allows you to carry subway and public transit information for a number of cities worldwide on your Palm OS or PocketPC device. And yes, Toronto is included.
(I'll admit I haven't actually tried it out. My Jornada is rather hurting for storage space at the moment. But go ahead and give it a whirl if you're so inclined.)
Another handy little freebie is a mobile version of the Oxford English Dictionary. This is an e-book in Mobipocket format. The Mobipocket Reader is also free -- there are a number of versions available for various PDAs as well as one for desktop PCs running Windows.
[Addendum: Merde, I posted this too hastily -- turns out the free OED includes only words beginning with the letter 'L'. Well, if you need to look up the definition for "laudanum", you're in luck.]
Interestingly, given my ramblings on blogging and business earlier today, the current number one link on Blogdex goes to an outline of some company's corporate policy on personal weblogs. This seems like a reasonably enlightened employer, which is cool.
I'm a little surprised that someone would need to be told not to disclose confidential or proprietary information on their blog (duh!), but I guess it's something that has to be included in such a policy as a matter of course.
I'm not too surprised to see a request that bloggers include a disclaimer that the contents of their blogs are their personal opinion and do not necessarity reflect the opinion of their employer. I've seen such disclaimers used on mailing lists, particulary when people post to the list using their office e-mail address.
I had to laugh at one clause, however:
Since your site is a public space, we hope you will be as respectful to the company, our employees, our customers, our partners and affiliates, and others (including our competitors) as the company itself endeavors to be.
So, if your employer treats you with disdain, are you allowed to reciprocate in your blog? No? I didn't think so.
