How to answer the phone. He's not the only one to get hung up on nor to be angry at how the call was handled.     #>


Primecell battery refurbishing. Great idea, it's always a shame to have to pitch a power tool because it's cheaper to buy a new one with two new batteries than try to replace the single battery that has gone bad.     #>


Obese have right to two airline seats.     #>


Apparently (not sure how it happened) I'm listening to the latest Re:Gen Radio Podcast, the "Repo The Genetic Opera" edition and I am seriously digging it.     #>


KML Interactive Sampler. Learn how to manipulate KML (the XML format used for Google Earth) files and see your changes happen real-time.     #>


Best and Worst Airport List. Love that Schiphol (Amsterdam) is first on their list. I've spent a lot of time at that airport and don't mind it at all. One of the interesting things I've noticed about International airports though is that (as I tell people) they seem like shopping malls they happen to park airplanes at. Good or bad, at least you have something to do on a long layover (both Amsterdam and Zurich, and I'm sure others, also have full grocery stores inside their airports.)     #>


Synchronize Outlook, Gmail, and cellphone contacts with Soocial. I don't actually use Gmail much so syncing my contacts there doesn't make a lot of sense but it's still good to know how to do it if I suddenly become a strong Gmail user in the future...     #>


An End to Legal Marriage. I especially agree with Dan's last couple points...     #>


Mountain of the Week - Uncompahgre Peak. Actually from a couple weeks ago but nice to see a Colorado 14'er getting some love...     #>


GTKRawGallery, a Python Based RAW Developper and Organizer. More RAW photo tools for Linux photographers.     #>


Selling Photos through Red Bubble. Worth checking out.     #>


Hardware Lister (lshw). And if you install "lshw-gtk" you get a pretty GUI listing of the things installed on your Linux system as well. Just used it to find out I have RAM in two slots and two slots free (so I can upgrade!)     #>


Riding The Spine Update: Crossing The Panama Canal. Two years to make it from Alaska to Columbia. Good thing they aren't in the Great Divide Bike Race. Still, way cool adventure trip, sounds like a blast.     #>
