December 9: Here’s a fun one. FindYourSpot.com takes your answers to their fairly thorough quiz, runs them through a whole slew of data and then gives you a list of places you’d most like to live based on factors like weather, population density, political leanings, cultural activities, property values and a lot more. Where’s your spot?

And the only thing it’ll cost you is your email address.
December 1: Free holiday desktop backgrounds from a trustworthy site, American Greetings. I’m using “Christmas Ornaments“–nice Christmas theme without the red-and-green overload. There’s a good selection of non-holiday winter themes as well.
