July 19th, outsourced

It's a very brief Outsourced Friday for you this week. First, I was traveling a lot and not surfing the web (a shame). Second, I left my laptop in Sharjah, along with all the bookmarks I had saved up before Tuesday. Enjoy what little I have for you. Maybe contribute your own in the comments?
