Make your lost USB drive call for help

Web site Daily Cup of Tech offers a custom autoplay program for your
USB thumb drive that tells the user what to do if it is lost and found.

Much more effective than a boring old IfFoundPleaseReturnTo.txt
text file, this customizable .exe offers a "Help! I'm lost!" Autoplay
option when someone plugs in your thumb drive. I especially like the
bribery tactic: "You will receive a shiny USB drive twice as big as
this one for your trouble." Nice.

ASCII-O-Matic turns your portrait into text

Fun little Flash app ASCII-O-Matic turns any small JPG image into plain text. Upload your 60 by 50 pixel portrait ("Face photos work best") and the ASCII-O-Matic turns it into a text. ASCII-O-Matic will even provide the HTML to include plain text results on your web site. Click on the LH mascot's ASCII image on the right to get a closer look at the individual characters. Cool!

Nine steps to financial security :

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, wrote a book called “The Way of the
Weasel.”In it, he lays out a one-page list for how to manage your
money. While I recognize that a book consisting largely of cartoon is
an unorthodox place to find sound financial advice, I think he is spot
on – if you do these things you will be fine:

1. Make a will.

2. Pay off your credit cards.

3. Get term life insurance if you have a family to support.

4. Fund your 401(k) to the maximum.

Yuva studio lets kids create pictures online

Crafts are big in my house, which is why I can't wait to turn my 6-year-old daughter loose at Yuva Studio. This "creative playground" (basically an online drawing program) lets kids create artwork using shapes that can be dragged, expanded, flipped, rotated, doodled, and so on. The resulting masterpieces can be saved in "sketchbooks," turned into e-cards to share with friends and family, or printed.

Quote of the day

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them." George Bernard Shaw
