Links for Wednesday, July 27th, 2005
Let’s start out today with some interesting places to find new links. I like to think of these as “coffee break” sites, the kind of site that you can pull up at any time of day to find a few minutes (or hours) of new and interesting things to read.

- jots.com
- linkfilter.net

- The 7 Step RSS Marketing Plan
- Running Windows with No Services.
- Life Sized Pirate Statues - On our recent trip to Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, a lot of the tourist shops had large, detailed pirate sculptures out front, to give a nautical theme I guess. I realized that there couldn’t be too many companies supplying this little niche, and mentally bookmarked a search term. Got home, and this was the first hit for life sized pirate statues. There’s actually some other cool stuff in there. If you don’t need a pirate, how about the Blues Brothers or a baby elephant, or Marilyn Monroe?
