Bits and Pieces september 18

Checking out Lifehacker this evening -- some very cool websites:

For you World is Flat types who are embracing globalization, check out the new language learning website Mango -- it's free to learn conversational Spanish, French, Russian, Chineese -- pick your lingo (and some extensive lessons too -- around 100 for Spanish).

And here is a great article suggesting that when things break, rather than send them to the landfill, we try sending them back to the company -- just to see what they might do (like replace it for free!)

And finally -- check out the RottenNeighbor website -- to make sure that your neighbors aren't going nuts about you!
