Apocalypticon by Clayton Smith

This seems like it should be a funny, easy read. I keep looking for more stuff in the Douglas Adams’ style, and so far I haven’t found much that can live up to it.

Recomended by boing boing.

SSL Shopper

This looks like a handy website to check whether SSL certificates are properly installed in a webserver. It also has some web based tools to decode and convert various forms of SSL keys and certs (PEM, DER, CSR, etc)
