Free Wordpress Themes – TemplatePanic
I just found another source of free themes for the Wordpress blogging platform. These are not the same old standard themes you see everywhere else. They are nice looking, nicely displayed so that you can see the whole theme top to bottom with enough filler text to get a feel for what the theme will really look like.

Student ‘Twitters’ his way out of Egyptian jail – CNN.com
Although most of us use Twitter for much more trivial ends, that doesn’t bother me anymore after reading this article. There are people using Twitter and blogs for much more important things, but if it were not for the more trivial based mass appeal of the Twitter network it would not have been such an effective tool. This is an inspiring story of the power of the iInternet to connect us, and that human instinct to be connected to other like minded people.
