For modular furniture fans, I've been buying stuff from Per Madsen (a local supplier) since the 80's (starting with shelving for vinyl sound recording disks). I just took delivery on some file cabinets. Key factors for me: sturdy, wood, & wheels!

Exciting day today. Flew to San Diego for a meeting. Meeting was canceled due to evacuation of facility. (SoCal is on fire.) Was about to fly back when I noticed my laptop was gone. Left it in the seatback pocket. Phone calls to a couple of computer geeks I know (starting with JimL, then MB) to get my yahoo email password changed. Flew back. Busy changing other passwords, just in case. Five minutes ago found out my laptop is in San Diego. Now need to arrange transport for said ancient computing device. Always carry a machine with low residual value. (It was teh awsum!!!! in 2003.)

Late Thursday afternoon, the newly arrived pest-control troops swarmed over Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village. In their flashy red and black jackets, they fanned out among the flowers and shrubs, searching for aphids, mites and other threats to the greenery at the heavily landscaped campus of Manhattan’s most famous middle-income rental complex.

ScanCafe: cheap, high quality photo scans. Kevin Kelly has a rave review.

This service will digitize your old slides, negatives and photographic prints at high quality and at a very cheap price. I've been using them to scan my 30-year backlog of photographs and I have been delighted with the results. I've used other services to scan my old photos; ScanCafe is by far the best deal. Their prices are fantastic. To scan a slide is just 24 cents, a color negative 19 cents.

Did I post this already? I don't know, but I've always been amused by the weird use of quotation marks found on so many signs. And here's a whole blog "dedicated" to the subject.

Some scientists even suggest that crows are more sophisticated tool builders than chimps, since they can transmit their knowledge on to successive generations and improve the tools over time.

Scroll down the article for interesting Quicktime video of Crow making tool. (unfortunately with annoying Boston.com sign in)

Lease a car in Europe instead of renting and save big money. Minimum 17 days is the only downside, but everything else looks awesome: comprehensive zero deductible insurance, unlimited mileage, and a fresh factory new car exactly to your specifications. For less money than renting.

But I Could Have Been Stabbed By A Trombone

Occasionally there are shooting deaths at these second line parades and its nice to know there are 20 cops left in New Orleans but still...the incident raises interesting questions about the balance between maintaining order and the need to nurture a culture which partly defines the city.

Still others say the incident is a sign of a greater attack on the cultural history of the old city neighborhood by well-heeled newcomers attracted to Treme by the very history they seem to threaten.

Jay Parkinson MD:

I am a new kind of physician. I strictly make house calls either at your home or work. Once you become my patient and I've personally met you, we can also e-visit by video chat, IM and email for certain problems and follow-ups. I'm based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. My fees are very reasonable...

I specialize in young adults age 18 to 40 without traditional health insurance. When you need more than I provide, i make sure you wisely spend your money and pay the lowest price for the highest quality....

I mix the service of an old-time, small town doctor with the latest technology to keep you and your bank account healthy.
Same day or next day appointments; 2 home or work visits per year; unlimited e-visits: $500/year.

Last week in Sehwan, a town in central Sindh, half a million Sufi pilgrams......They are followers, like most Pakistani , of the heterodox Barelvi school of Sunni Islam. And so they whirled, chantd prayers, blew kisses, and smoked massive quantities of dope.....We are so anti-Taliban, claimed Ahmed Bhutto, in a room thick with insence and rose petels. We stand for love, tolerance and the great infinity.....(the economist 9/16)

NICE!!!
