A couple of things about the Guadalajara Mexico airport - the big bank of power plugs you see between the Chili's and the Johnny Rockets? Those have no actual power to them. Also, while the Infinity Movil wireless network will prompt you to pay or login this can be bypassed by simply using SSL, or a VPN, or a proxy server (ssh is wide open on many ports, I was able to connect to my home desktop no problem with NX Client.) The power sucks (but the Starbucks I am at has a working outlet) but the wifi is nice if you have the means to work it.     #>


Well that's handy: Pill Identifier. I keep a small travel bottle in my laptop bag (with all the international travel I do it's damn handy). Usually it just has ibuprofin in it but I found a small pill I wasn't sure of at the bottom. Turns out it's "Zolpidem tartrate" (generic Ambien.) Better than me just taking it and hoping for the best...     #>


Citrus Salt. Hadn't heard of it before but looks good.     #>


Exploding Photographers, Disappearing Clothes, And the Development of Film. I haven't made it through the whole thing yet but it's damn interesting so far.     #>


Perfect Stranger Video Game. Wow, just wow. I caught an episode of The Bronson Pinchot Project not long ago and can't believe how many people have no memories of the "Perfect Strangers" tv show... Now you can play a game to make all your dreams come true!     #>


Driving While Stoned? Marijuana DUI Bill Gets Closer To Approval In Colorado. Except for the levels that they are testing at you might not actually be stoned. Hope this gets shot down in favor of something sane.     #>
