1. Don't forget: Google Reader disappears on Monday.  (I'm moving to Feedly.)
2. Are you familiar with Word notebooks?  Their bullet point system is a nice touch.
3. I love this waterproof tear-resistant map of San Francisco from the Open Company.
4. Literary Pets: the Cats, Dogs, and Birds Famous Authors Loved
5. You had me at Molly Ringwald and grapefruit.
