• The Obligatory Blog
  The key draw for me with this blog is the regular "MicroISV Digest" - a regular round up of the interesting microISV (or small software business) -related writings on the web

• Open Source Web Design - Download and upload free web designs.
  Interesting looking collection of free website designs. I suspect it'll be a good source of ideas and bits to crib if nothing else

• Increase your energy levels in 1 minute. - Parapsychology articles and blog
  Haven't tried these yet, but the fact that they're pretty simple and short means they could be a good antidote to the mid-afternoon slump in energy levels and enthusiasm

• HDDlife - freeware real-time hard-drive monitoring utility with alerts, malfunction protection and data loss prevention functions. This hard-drive inspector is a proactive hard drive failure detection system that controls 100% of hard-drive risks.
  Monitor your hard drives so you'll hopefully catch them before they die (because as simple as restoring things from PeerBackup is, prevention is going to be a bit easier :-)
