Nifty sites

The ever-helpful folks on Lifehacker have gathered a few jewels worth noting...

For those of us chomping at the bit for our IRS refund, there's a site to check on its status.

For those of us who are sick and tired of wading through endless voice prompt hell when calling for customer service, this delightful site has a list of firms and instructions on how to actually get a human.

Love both of these.
