    Ken Kifer's Bike Pages -- bicycle travelogues, bike safety, bicycling advocacy, and cycling humor.

    Excellent site with all kinds of stuff relating to biking. Tips, tricks, essays and the like, and lots of it. Poor guy was killed a few years back by a drunk driver… Theres also all kinds of good stuff on his site.

    Mind Hacks is an interesting look at how we use our brains everyday in different situations. It’s a very active book, showing principles of brain psychology concretely in ways that anyone can try out by themselves or with neat tricks posted somewhere on the internet.

    how stuff is made

    Sort of like my favorite childhood book – How Things Work. A good look at, well, how things get made. From the faq:

    HowStuffisMade is a visual encyclopedia documenting the manufacturing processes, labor conditions and environmental accounts of contemporary products.
