Link roundup for the week ending February 14

• OpenOffice.org Conference 2009
  Registered OO.o members get to pick the location for the annual conference, and this year there are some absolutely fantastic choices. The Library of Alexandria? Iceland and its Gullfoss? Budapest? Just can't decide.
• Bespin: A new Mozilla Labs experimental extensible code editor using Canvas
  This looks an excellent idea that could quickly become the EMACS of its time.
• Vatican buries the hatchet with Charles Darwin
  Happy 200th birthday, Charles. Looks like evolution is the only intelligent design choice after all.
• Russian and US satellites collide
  There was a time when this would have started a war. Now all it starts is the decline into earth being ringed in small fragments of junk that destroy everything instead of big lumps of junk you can hope to avoid.

These just for US people since Amazon UK doesn't do free stuff:

• Elijah Drop Your Gun: Mieka Pauley
  I'm hooked. Absolutely excellent album, and it's free this week for US customers on Amazon MP3.
• Let's Get It On: Marvin Gaye
  Valentine's Day only freebie from Amazon USA.
• One Little Indian Amazon Label Sampler 09
  Nice mix of indie tracks from Amazon US, worth the download.
