just for reference. I love physicsdiet.com, but it’s always good to have a local alternative. (All my data is also stored in a Mobile Excel spreadsheet on my phone, too.)

an oldie but a goodie. (also, I think this is the article that got me to MeFi in the first place. according to my profile, I joined 1 week later, and I definitely remember reading Digital Web back in the day.)
