Beautiful Library Site
~One thing that I despise is Adobe Acrobat Reader, that ubiquitous piece of software that reads .pdf files. A far solution to reading document, especially books, on a computer is something akin to Open Library. This web site had thousands of out-of-copyright books that can be read "naturally", with the entire book displayed on the screen and a simulated page-turner.It's a bit hard to explain, so take a look at the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" to see what I mean. You can use the arrow buttons on the right side of the screen to flip the pages. It would be nice to find a .pdf reader that displayed documents like that.

US Flight Information and Airport Status
~Courtesy of ResourceShelf, I've found a very useful and interesting website, which displays current US airport information and live flight data. You can use it to track expected flights and see when travelers will arrive and if there flight has been delayed. The information is not real-time, but it is up-to-date within a few minutes. The initial display shows all flights in the country, but you can zoom in and select a specific flight to see its number and status, or you can enter information into the boxes on the left to get more specific data.

This pun is *UNACCEPTABLE*
~If you thought my word play was bad, you haven't seen anything. But is this pun an "epic win" or an "epic fail"??
