Fred Parker explains how to use your brain to compute exposure. One step up in complexity from my little rant on the subject, with the added bonus of actually being useful.
Also, another better article about what to do with your camera set to 'manual:' Hyperfocal and zone-focusing techniques. After reading this, and using one of the many online depth-of-field calculators, I learned that with the widest zoom at f/8 and focused at 3.4 ft, my camera has an acceptable depth of field from around 1.4 feet to infinity. I'll need a tripod, though.
