If you’ve managed to lay your hands on the XO Laptop from the OLPC project, chances are you’re a hacker-friendly type who won’t have any trouble working it out. But what about the target audience for the machine, who aren’t necessarily going to be so computer literate? The Simplified User Guide at the OLPC Wiki is a great place to start, with largely jargon-free guides to all the basic functions. [OLPC via Pia Waugh]
If your two-wheeled transport is in need of a seasonal tuneup or any kind of fix, The Bicycle Tutor can clearly explain what you’ll need to get it done. Run by a photography enthusiast and serious bike geek, the site offers plain-English tutorials in both hi-res video and full text. The streaming videos are free to watch on the site, but you can buy QuickTime videos for a buck or two to load on your iPod and bring out to where the work is. It’s a good bookmark for everything from changing a flat to replacing your chain rings.
