I wrote some days ago a summary of what I could find interesting on the web. This is my second edition of Recently on the web.

I have found some articles about information overload. Everyday, by checking email, RSS feeds, browsing social networking, checking news, we waste a lot of time if we don’t do it correctly.

• Merlin Mann made a conference about how to keep an Inbox Zero.
• Monika Mundell published also about dealing with information overload, on email, TV, RSS, etc.
• I also found an article about how to get the most of social networking sites and
• found this family-oriented network helping you to draw a genealogy tree.
• About productivity, I found this article about Dvorak simplified keyboard. I already published some months ago an article about the French version of this layout, that I use daily.
• As I visited the 大阪人権博物館, the museum for Human Rights in Osaka, I read some articles about 部落民 (Burakumin), people in Japan who can be compared to Indian Untouchables. Wikipedia article and an essay.
• This article (in French) speaks about being White in France nowadays.
• And finally, an article (in French) about the Namdaemun in Seoul, that I saw when I visited last Christmas, and that was set on fire on February 11th.

These days, I have been reading through various pages. Some were funny, some were sad, some were just very interesting. I thought about writing regularly a post with articles and website I read recently, for sharing it with people who may read me.

• Doctors of depravity is about the activity of Japanese army in the Second World War. I found this article while I was browsing the article about Unit 731 on Wikipedia.
• Odyssey of State Capitols and State Suspicion relates the crazy story of a guy on a trip through the different states of the US, following a postcard and taking pictures of the State Capitols.
• Some cheats on the need to sleep.
• The four laws of simplicity.
• 10 simple ways to do only three things today.
• Zenhabits.net and Lifehack.org also compile some advice for putting order in daily life.
