RSS feeds, podcasts and more:
RSS (Rich Site Summary) lately has been taking off. RSS allows you to
get the latest news feeds from your favorite news site all in one
central location for easy reading. The new blog/webloging now is in an
audio format called podcasting. Both of these feeds are getting a lot
of attention as of late. There are many RSS readers out there, here are
some of our favorites:

Stumble upon new and exciting web sites:
StumbleUpon is a network of people and pages. It is a free tool which
helps you browse, review and share webpages while meeting new people. You
load a simple toolbar on your web browser and select the categories you
are interested in and simply click "Stumble!" to goto a site that others
have clicked "I like it!". You can also do the same and add sites you
like to the list while surfing so others can see the site you like as well.

Looking for a nice C++ sorting alg, use koders:
This search engine has over 200 million lines of open source code that you
can search for code you need for your project. It looks like a big
chunk of it is linux distributions but if you need to find some code
quick this may be the way to go. Just keep in mind the GNU license
when using this stuff.

MAC OS X App Doc for your Win Box:
Are you jealous of the MAC OS X application 3d toolbar wheel? Well now
you can have that on your windows box. Y\'z Dock is the ticket. Beware
Aqua Dock is the same program just packaged up with spyware from
openwares.org.
