Links for 7/12

I ran across quite a few interesting articles and posts today and thought I’d post some links.

• Tracks An interesting Ruby on Rails application to manage tasks and projects. Haven’t used it, but it looks really nice.
• What the world needs now in Google Linux Is Google teaming up with linux geeks to take on Windows? What are Microsoft’s deals with some linux companies doing to the rest of the linux community?
• Time’s 50 Best Websites 2007 I have never used most of the sites they list in the top 50, but Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, del.icio.us, Digg, and Technorati all place in the “25 Sites We Can’t Live Without.” Interestingly, MySpace and Second Life are listed in the “5 Worst Websites.”
• Art may mimic life, but Legos mimic art For those who like Legos and photography, a very interesting post. Look at the rest of the photos on Flickr, too.
• Add face recognition login with BananaScreen Overall just an interesting gadget for securing your computer.
