Anyhoo, here, without further ado, are some things I found on the internet.
Some great examples of well designed business cards.
Inspiration for frustrated logo designers.
A list of free resources for would-be home business owners - the post was written in support of Blog Action Day.
Free access to university lectures.
A quiz to test apostrophe usage - I got all the questions right, which is surprising, because I guess most of the time.
A way to bypass the slush pile at Harper Collins.
A really, really (really) detailed character profile sheet. Really, it is very detailed, probably writing's equivalent of method acting.
How to find out if someone stops following you on twitter - perfect for those
How to create drop-down menus with CSS. I'm not a fan of them, but if you are it should be handy.
A thoughtful piece about what happens to our online presence when we shuffle off to the great office in the sky. It's worth reading the comments, there are some interesting remarks and ideas about the subject.
And, not to finish on a down note, here's something that made me laugh

Funny cartoon... and it's just the way I'm feeling! :-)
I've often wondered that about leaving blogs, galleries and other things on the internet after I pass on. Even if family or friends found a way to log in and maintain them, they eventually pass on as well. At that point, I guess, it's all deleted eventually, through lack of use or payment.
Meanwhile, some of those pages, galleries and blogs could be up a good long time, and that's one reason why it's nice to go through the sites periodically and delete things I really don't want up there any more. :-)
You might remember I mentioned a digital artist about my age who died a year or more ago; I searched on her just now and there's a memorial site with all her pictures, which is nice. Her deviantArt gallery is still there too, and that one is 'frozen in time'. One person did leave a message a few months ago without realizing there was no one to reply, but everybody else who commented seemed to be aware. I also noticed evidence of a spam message which was flagged and removed before I got there. Somebody has to do a little weeding. :(
PS Twitter sounds a dog-eat-dog world. :-)
On one of my arty sites, someone's name came up two or three times as having added me as a friend, usually just after I'd commented on one of his pictures... which I only did about once every blue moon as they were so grainy and poor. Somehow you don't care about something like that; you just think "oh, one of those!" and move on. :-)
