found this electronics outlet through some price searching site. looks to be only a couple of blocks away. i doubt its a user friendly store but looks better than wholesale liquidators on broadway.

Any advice on things to do, places to eat in Puerto Rico? We're staying east of San Juan, near El Yunque National Park, but I want to get into San Juan.
going to see john waters perfom a one-man show tonight. no word yet if foam dispensers will be part of the act.
is it just me or has google removed "cache" and "similar pages" from their search results? similar pages was worthless but i liked the highlighted results from cache.
maybe im just predisposed to foam, but this might be a fun device to have around.

Good news from the mailbag:
Hello,It's about time someone took note of our dominance in the "women breaking dishes machine embroidery design" space.
I have found your website digitalmediatree.com by searching Google for "woman breaking dishes machine embroidery design". I think our websites has a similar theme, so I have already added your link to my website.
Finally watched that juggling video everyone had linked. I guess I see why.

straight to soft cover :
Though not all blogs may aspire to literary permanence, they can achieve it through the new Book-Smart software from Blurb, a publish-your-own-book service. The software, which is expected to be available free later this month at www.blurb.com, features a "Slurper" tool that automatically downloads and reformats the contents of a Web log into a book that bloggers and their admirers can purchase online.
Slurping is not all BookSmart has to offer. It simplifies the layout process by providing design templates for various kinds of books, including cookbooks, photo books, portfolios and volumes dedicated to pets and babies. The software guides users through design decisions like choosing text styles and how many photos will appear on each page.
Pricing for printed versions of your book from Blurb starts at $30 for an 8-by-10-inch full-color hardcover volume with dust jacket and up to 40 pages. A book of up to 80 pages is $3 more. (Blurb plans to eventually offer paperback editions selling for about 30 percent less than hardcover.) Authors will also be able to set up online bookstores through Blurb's Web site.
Although an early version of the software occasionally stuttered or froze, Blurb expects to have the kinks ironed out in time for its public release.

Radical reference originated as a service provided by volunteer library workers from all over the United States to assist demonstrators and activists at the convergence surrounding the Republican National Convention in New York City August 29-September 2, 2004. We are evolving, expanding our services, and continuing to utilize our professional skills and tools to answer information needs from the general public, independent journalists, and activists.

The tiny versions of images on the Tree in the address bar (not just the Tree logo) are sweet. When did that happen?
Cheney shot and injured fellow hunter in S. Texas. I like this quote from the ranch owner, in the Times account:
''Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people around him and so they were right there and probably more cautious than we would have been,'' she said. ''The vice president has got an ambulance on call, so the ambulance came.''

"Falcon! Is it a merlin?" cried Joe Giunta, as a small bird soared overhead just moments after the catamaran left the South Street Seaport dock on the East River. Quick discussion, and it was decided that Giunta, a retired teacher who lectures on birds for the local Audubon society and has a staggering 1,020 birds on his own "life list," was correct.
Amazing Quake II mod:
You finally saw the yacht in the seemingly random bunch of dots! You can see the dinosaurs and dolphins in the Magic-Eye books! Now use your skills to free yourself from your evil extra-dimensional zombie oppressors! Welcome to Quake II as it was never meant to be.I was never very good at seeing those magic-eye things, but it always surprised me how cool it was when I did get it. Of course the first thing I wondered was whether you could produce the effect with moving images. Evidently you can. Not sure this has any practical applications (I guess it depends on how hard it is to see and whether it gives you a massive head ache and makes you cross eyed or something like that,) but I'd love to try it out. Windows only unfortunately.
Quake II AbSIRD is a modification of the Quake II graphics engine to produce SIRDS instead of standard 3D images.
