Free HTML templates

I've been using some HTML templates I downloaded from this site:

http://www.interspire.com/

What I like the most is that they look very professional and they're simple at the same time. Re-using the design in your code is very easy and fast.

The only requisite is to keep the "Copyright" text at the bottom, which includes a link to their site.

Here are a couple of examples of the use I gave to their templates:
Education: http://www.sm-iete-bolivia.org
Automotive: http://www.servicioautomotrizmonza.com
(websites in Spanish)

Cloud Computing Expo

The 2010 Cloud Computing Expo will be held in NYC this year.

If you're in the IT business, Cloud Computing is something you should be reading about. The IT world is switching gears one more time, this time towards the "Cloud", and it promises to be a huge change in the way we provide products and services.

The following page explains where the famous "Lorem Ipsum" came from (that text that you see in layouts).

It also includes a generator for your designs.

This site has been on Internet for a while. They celebrated 10 years in 2009.

This group of Stockholm, Sweden, designed a video to explain how Internet (and the TCP/IP protocols) works. It's a funny 12 minute explanation that helps clarify concepts.

Personally, I can't say I'll miss this browser, but for sure I'll remember it. I've spent hours trying to make my applications work with its weak architecture.
