Random Bits of the Web

• Supersized Meals -- food gone wild! The blog is not affiliated with the movie Supersize Me, just inspired by it.
• The Dangers of Bread -- after reading this, I dare you to continue consuming bread! I say we mount a campaign to get the FDA to ban bread! I say we start at the top -- after all, most terrorists are know to break bread together before going off on their killing spree.
• Songbird -- check out the open source, cross-platform media player with the most. Built using the Firefox engine, this web-media player aims to do what most commercial players can't claim: separate the media from the medium.
• Sketch Swap -- OK, I don't get it.
• Splunk -- if you work in IT at a large corporation, you will have to deal with multi-platforms, multiple versions of infrastructure software and huge multi-tier environment. All of those infrastructure components generate logs. When something is broken, how do you know where to look? Splunk aims to solve that problem. It indexes log data live as its being generated, allowing you to search that data just as you would use an internet search engine. It goes a little further than search engines in how the information is presented, but what a useful concept.
