...in what world of usability testing does holding down the "end" key turn a mobile phone "on"? And why oh why can I almost never remember this without first trying the "talk" green key??? Argh...

From Video To...Flip Books?
While this is sort of retro and quaint, it still strikes me as pretty cool. Remember those flip books -- the ones where you flip through the pages really fast and it looks like a movie?
Well, now a company (aptly named flipclips) is offering to take your movies and turn them into flip books...now that's thinking outside of the box, eh? Could make great gifts for the technophobes and luddites in your life. Or terrific and potentially pretty humorous stocking stuffers (yes, Christmas is actually coming...I can't believe it either).

Wanna Just Talk to a Human?
Is there anyone who would prefer to deal with an automated system when they call a company for customer service?
There's a site called The GetHuman Database that provides you with instructions as to the shortest route to a human voice on the other end.
Someone should nominate the founder for Sainthood.
