Why is the Chicago White Sox logo on this post? Because this post is about helpful things, and the Sox helped me justify getting out of bed this morning. Woo!

Anyway, let me stop abusing my exalted post as blog editor. Here are some links for you:

Need a lawyer? Publishlawyer credits itself as "The Legal Resource for Publishing Professionals."

Free Lexis/Nexis tools for you (according to SreeTips, so if it's not as free as it seems, take it up with him.)

Want some good free science fiction? (via MetaFilter)

For those of you for whom fonts matter (freelancers! do not use fancy fonts when sending cover letters!), Typetester.

I am not creative enough to come up with a snappy introduction to Creativity Techniques.
