Weekend Roundup January 15th, 2010

The Weekend Roundup is a short list of links that is sent out every Friday (USA time). This is where I get to share things I run across that are interesting, fun, or useful, where any topic, tech related or not, is fair game.

This week's links turned out to have an unplanned, underlying theme of finding things.

How to Connect to Hidden Wireless Networks
Hidden wireless networks are those networks which do not broadcast their Network ID (SSID). While not that many people use such networks, it definitely ads a bit more security to have your home wireless network hidden from unwanted guests. In this guide I will share with you what details you need to know in order to connect to such networks and what are the steps for making a successful connection.

Trace location of any mobile number
TP2Location is a web-based application that lets you trace out the geographical location of almost any phone number across the globe. You just have to enter the phone number in a textbox and click a button. The web app traces out the geographical location of the phone number along with the wireless carrier details.

A Collection of Free Design Resources
Designers can never get enough resources. Fonts, tutorials, source files, plugins, stock images, icons… you name it we love them. Especially when they are free! Thankfully within the design community there are no shortage of designers willing to offer free stuff, it just about finding them. In today’s round-up we have collected exactly what you want, some fresh and free design resources. (You didn't think I could get through a week without something related to design popping up, did you? No? Neither did I)

Enjoy,
