Ok, we all know that celery has almost no calories, right? Well, how much celery would you have to eat to get to 200 calories? By the same token, how much broccoli? Jelly Belly jelly beans? Baileys Irish Cream? Ketchup? Dorritos?

A few other interesting links from Lifehacker this week (New Year’s Resolution time seems to have reinvigorated the group there!):
Use the Refund Please website to track price changes on your Amazon purchases
Check out some screenshots of Microsoft Word and Excel 2007
A link to the Emergent Task Planner 2007 on David Seah’s website - I downloaded this and might try to use it to plan my daily activities
Six web apps to help you keep your New Year’s resolutions (I’m still trying to figure out what my resolutions are going to be — I have one so far)
Learn a language with podcasts (this is a candidate for a resolution)
A guide for switching to a Mac - this is something I’m actually considering. I think I need to find the “how to choose between a Mac and a PC without the use of a funny commercial” writeup somewhere
Software for Starving Students - I downloaded this great collection of free software and made a CD. I’m probably going to burn several copies and give them away since I already love some of the programs on it, and am excited to try some that I haven’t used before!

Lifehacker.com posted a nice list of photo gift tools today. Given that I’ve become enamored with Picaboo lately, this is kind of timely.
