This is a lot of fun - and a lot of utility - for less than $40. This software is like a "vcr for internet radio"- you can capture broadcasts and podcasts and record them to burn to CD or play on your iPod. I use it to record interviews I do on skype, and you can also make your own podcasts with it (and a microphone.) Also handy for digitizing your old records and those mix tapes you've been hoarding since the late 80s. Check it out here.

Calling all word people: you're going to love this site, especially if you are a visual thinker and design fan. Type in a word and you'll find a cool web of synonyms, enjoy intelligent articles, and even put your favorite word pictures on a T-shirt.
