A new monospace font, “designed for code listings and the like, in print”. I think it looks just great on the screen, too.

My response to Jason Kottke’s question on the proper Star Wars viewing order.

And Thank Him that He does.

A handy reference you can wear.

We always knew there was more to Han than met the eye.

Because everyone knows the Dark Lord of the Sith rocks!

Be sure to voice your approval for a reprint!

Makes sense, that if the Dark Lord of the Sith rocks, his underlings would want to rock and roll all night, too.

Oh, I really hope this one gets printed at some point. Be sure to leave a comment voicing your approval!

Great riff on R2, but currently sold out.

Troop it up!

A very hard to find Star Wars tee; this is the only place selling it online I’ve been able to find, and nowhere near in my size. Certainly a collectable if you can find it.

For the Dark Side-loving lady in your life.

Home of the “Baby Fett” onesie. I’m so buying from here when our next child comes along.

Unfortunately, only available for the ladies at the moment.

Nifty size comparison of space ship sizes from science fiction shows and movies, with real Earth vehicles alongside, too. Of course, Star Wars rules. (Thanks, Lee!)

Weapons accessories, including magazines, mostly for The Black Rifle. (Thanks, David!)

The drool-worthy Kriss .45-caliber SMG on Discovery’s FutureWeapons. If I’m in SWAT or Special Ops, I’m petitioning my commanders to give this thing a serious look once production ramps up.

Wifi access at 219 U.S. airports, listed alphabetically by city (with corresponding airport codes), noting which ones are free, and offering hourly, daily, monthly, and other charges. (Thanks, Eric!)

This series of futuristic mysteries sounds really intriguing, and this is for my reference if the first in the series proves worth reading the rest.

Quick and easy grid layouts for web developers. My “normal” friends can ignore this link.

Is there a classic book published by Penguin that you just love and want to tell the rest of the world about? Here’s your chance. A book blog where the readers are the bloggers…

Proofreader’s and editor’s marks

If you didn’t see last season’s “How I Met Your Mother“, this probably won’t make sense, but if you did, this is what strikes fear in Barney’s dark heart. 😉

For my geek and/or Boston friends to send to John Gruber.

Amen.

He may hold the record, but the rest of us don’t have to like it.

Looking through their inventory, I’m starting to believe Phone Different really might be, as they claim, “The One-Stop Show for all your iPhone needs”.

“[A]n iPhone application that keeps real-time track of your team’s games as they fight for a playoff spot. To see it in action, tune in while a game is in progress. You’ll see up-to-the-minute plays while following along with friends on Twitter.”

The college football version of Fumbleview.

The Major League Baseball version of Fumbleview.

Good round-up by Bill Palmer. Personally, owning an iPhone, I wouldn’t buy an iPod Touch until it really was “the iPhone without the phone”, but maybe that’s just me.

Established by former Microsoft executive John Wood, Room to Read seeks to establish and grow libraries in developing nations, and to teach anyone willing to read, with the premise that the world can be changed one book and one person at a time.

Now running in my Dashboard. I love the look of this calculator widget much better than the Mac OS X standard.

Hate trying to read web sites with white/light text on black/dark backgrounds? Yeah, me, too. Drag this bookmarklet up in to your browser’s toolbar, then click on it when you encounter such sites. Voila! Black text on white background.

“Peter Griffin is Han Solo, Lois is Princess Leia, Stewie becomes Darth Vader, Brian plays Chewbacca, and Chris is Luke Skywalker. Cleveland and Quagmire will play the droid duo of R2-D2 and C-3PO, while Herbert is the wise Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

Great. As if a Nintendo Wii wasn’t already hard to find…
