Here are some things I’ve run across in the past few weeks you may find interesting:

• FailCon. Billed as a one-day conference for technology entrepreneurs, investors, developers and designers to study their own and others” failures and prepare for success. Talking about and sharing failure is powerful, I think worth the $79 entrance fee.
• Quickly Remove USB Devices Safely. Essentially you can disable write caching. Not sure they’ve got it defaulted the correct way, does anyone really disconnect them using safe removal?
• Walk and Talk, The West Wing Reunion. A fun plug for Every Body Walk.
• 100 Must Read Books from the Art of Manliness. More than a few on this list I haven’t read.
