I've come across a website that tracks your own sites' performance and uptime and immediately informs you if something is down or out of the ordinary.  Other than that you can track visitors and even internal server performance.

I ran across this blog post yesterday about a designer who switched from Mac to PC and liked it.  It was refreshing to read after all the hype Apple's been getting for...the last 4-5 years!

The post is old, from 2002.  A small excerpt:

I finally learned what Windows was all about. Why it was used. Why Microsoft had such high market share. Win2k was stable.

I never crashed when using it.

My fonts loaded correctly every time. I could reliably collaborate with teams in Boston via NetMeeting. I studied the OS inside and out, and learned how to make it mine. I could push pixels around in Photoshop and have the power of IIS under the hood on the same machine.

 I use Netvibes for my homepage and on my web development/design tab I have the following RSS feeds I like to review everyday for new material:

• WebResourcesDepot
• Smashing Magazine
• Marcofolio.net ()
• MakeUseOf.com
• Web Designer Help
• Coding Horror
• Top Web Resources

I came across this visual representation of the web's most influential domains on Digg.
