Ha! You know, I kinda like it. "feeds washingtonpost" then to open the first link, you just type "open 1". It's easier on the eyes and it looks like you're working.

Two words: West Virginia. Beautiful landscapes, great hiking, great rock climbing, and a night at a local bar will set you back less than 10 bucks.

Sharing park stickers! Can you not spare a few dollars to support the upkeep of your local natural areas?

@jsiren:

Number 1 should be 'date a Japanese girl.'

Maybe not the right place to be asking this, but my Samsung LCD at home has a ton of posterization in the blacks. When I'm editing photos the dark areas are really blocky. Moving the photo over to my second monitor (a Planar) shows normal black blending. Anybody know what this issue is and how I can fix it?

@GA TechWriter: Ha!

Leave it to the government to screw up something this simple. "There were no farmers markets found matching your criteria," and yet I know of at least two in Northern VA. One is five minutes from my house.

Permit Cookies and PicLens, but I really really miss my Dictionary Lookup.

I have a Saitek Eclipse too and I love it.

So complicated! I just whack off the ends, and chop blindly. My dices look the same as hers :)

The password protection for Excel is just as shoddy (at least prior to Office 2007). I've run a little VBA macro to open protected Excel files. Same idea, it doesn't recover the original password, it just gives you a series of characters that will open the file. Just search the Google message boards and you'll find…

Cools, I'm gonna try this when I get home.

Props to the 5 people in the Congo who pledged!

Kinda neat, but it seems like there should be an easier, more Tufte-esque way to present the info.

I'm becoming seriously addicted to the Google Calendar SMS. I don't want to carry around a big honkin' Blackberry so a quick 'next' or 'day' to gevent from my phone—not to mention reminders—keeps me on track.

Mozy here. I'm paranoid about privacy, so my important personal files reside in TrueCrypt volumes that are then backed up to Mozy.

VOTE: iGoogle + gReader + gCal + fuzzy clock gadget

It an ironic twist that people aren't upgrading their Firefox version because they're waiting on third party extensions. The same concept that's supposed to put FF above all other browsers is now starting to hold it back.

Yikes...I didn't even know people still used screensavers!
