FTP Voyager Now Free
The company that made FTP Voyager got bought out and the new owners are offering up the program for free.
Once priced around $50-$60, FTP Voyager is a professional and feature packed program.
It may be overkill for the casual user, but for free you might want to grab it!

All Windows 8 Keyboard Shortcuts
As with Windows 7 many sites have posted the Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts like they discovered some secret. The information is available both from Microsoft via the web or directly from Windows 8 built-in search.
One thing I noticed was that printing it out was a mess so I put together a Word document and PDF to make that easier.
To download simply right-click and “Save As” (please link to this post and not directly to the files):

Interesting blog post by Philip Greenspun entitled: Christmas gift for someone you hate: Windows 8
Posted as much for the post title and the quote “dog’s breakfast of a user interface” as the info.
