When I look back at the blog items I post linking to interesting developer essays and articles, many of them are originally from osnews.com. OSNews is a frequently updated blog that posts lots of small items every day. While nominally about operating systems, they really cover a much broader domain including websites and technology companies. They do an outstanding job of bringing early attention to interesting technology essays that I don't see mentioned elsewhere.

ZipCar.com - super cool car sharing service in the US for occasional driversAfter over a dozen years of non-driving, i've reacquired the skill and discovered an amazing car sharing service that is in my town and in many other big towns/cities, called ZipCar. As someone who grew up in a city that where the most common means of getting around is mass transport, not driving was no big deal.. But in most places, having a car is important. Still, even where I am now i get to most places on public transportation, and having a car of my own seems overkill and way too expensive, especially with insurance costs. But this ZipCar thing is perfect for people like me who would still like to do some occasional driving, to go shopping or pick people up at airport, etc. Basically it's about $50 a year, and then you pay $8/hour or so for when you actually use a car. This cost includes good insurance coverage and all gas costs. All reservations can be done online, and you get a key card that unlocks the car during your reservation -- so you never have to deal with an actual human. Pros:
