I was having a nice conversation with a friend on the phone last night when all of a sudden I lose the connection, my phone reboots and then takes me through the setup. I had lost everything!

So, with that in mind, everyone back up your hard drives, phones, & mind now!

And here are the links that I've neglected to put up over the past month, so quickly, before I lose them...
