I tend to have 50 bazillion open tabs in my browser (totally drives Marcus crazy). Since it's usually stuff I find interesting or important, I leave them open until my poor computer can't handle it anymore. It's time to dump some, so here's the list of open tabs I need to close and move on:

• Holstee Manifesto
• DIY Stinky Feet Foot Soak

I found a nifty little web app today called KnitPro. It basically charts an image you upload (jpg, gif or png) to a grid and saves it as a pdf that you can save/print so that you can use it in a needlecraft. Very handy for charting a dishcloth pattern I have in mind, I think.
