  1. Is OpenTable Worth it? | Incanto<\/a> – I occasionally go to OpenTable first, but always looking for a particular restaurant. I’m more likely to the restaurant’s web site and reserve there, whether it’s via OpenTable or some other mechanism.<\/li>\n
  2. 12 of the World’s Ugliest Statues – Oddee.com<\/a> – And, yes, the Demon Horse of DIA is included in them.<\/li>\n

  8. Wikipedia: We Need $16 Million To Stay Free<\/a> – I’ve donated. Wikipedia is a splendid resource I make use of on close to a daily basis.<\/li>\n
  9. Mind Blowing Ad Campaign of the Day: Unknown Singapore-based ad…<\/a> – Well, that’s an … intriguing approach.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
