» Change Firefox 3.6’s Tab Behavior. I really really do not like the new behavior.     #


» H.R 4759 REPEAL NAFTA! That'd be something if that passed.     #


» What a daft way to stop your spaniel eating the milkman. Wow, Jeremy Clarkson finally wrote something I agree with. Watch out for a rain of frogs soon.     #


» Grip Swell Motorcycle Gloves. Love those padded palms for long rides, looks like they run about $55/pair.     #


» Nickel fee on bags cutting use in Washington. Yay! Let's implement this everywhere (I prefer this to the "bag refund" being given in Colorado. I appreciate the 10 cents off less than I would being charged a nickel outright per back...)     #


» Delicate Arch, an amazing photo of one of my favorite places.     #


» Gimps On Ice 2010 scheduled for 3/12-14     #

» CooCoo for Cocoa Crêpe (Cake). Mmmm.     #


» Wild Encounters photos. Beautiful.     #


» A direct link to the Pandora music player (eliminates all the clutter of having their website open just to play tunes.)     #


» What's the Best Way to (and Why Should I) Create a Home Inventory? Some years back when I was spending a lot of time out of country I took photos of everything I could and put that compact flash card in my safe. Probably time to update it again...     #


» Processor Charts: Normalized Performance Rating and Graphics Card Charts: Normalized Performance Rating. Handy since model numbers for computer parts are so damn confusing these days.     #

» Greatest Swag In The History of Swagginess: The Canon Lens Thermos, and a Facebook fan page where people are posting them as they find them for sale. I do have that very lens that it's modeled after and would love to get my hands on one.     #


» Zero Punctuation: Aliens vs Predator. One of his funniest reviews.     #


» A climber in the next route over from Greg and I in the Scottish Gullies section of the Ouray Ice Park.

» Google Maps Biking Overlay, lets you plan trips around town using bike lanes, very handy.     #


» Nikon Girl music video, The Photo Club. Hah.

    #


» Craig Luebben Killed in North Cascades. Somehow I missed this last year when it happened. I took a self-rescue class from Craig at a local climbing gym a few years back, I still remember most of what he taught.     #


» The Best Sleeping Rig for Pickup Trucks, assuming you have a shell (or want to get one).     #


» Park Hill hoping to satisfy hunger for grocery store. Hadn't heard the term "food deserts" before but I can definitely see where they apply.     #


» Pueblo Says It's Losing Money On Traffic Cameras. Good, maybe other cities will take notice.     #


» I-70 rock-slide closure costs truckers valuable time and money. Be sure to check out the photo of part of the road damage as well. So much for me easily making it out to Moab in the next month or so...     #


» Monitor Calibration Image. Handy if you don't have a color calibration tool like a Spyder or Huey.     #

» Melbourne 2012??? That is quite the flash flood, no wonder they thought it might be end of days...

    #


» RAD OMEN - "Rad Anthem". Definitely an "interesting" video (and I love that they end up at White Castle...) Probably not safe for work, though there isn't any nudity.     #


» Do A Total Background Check On Yourself. Not free mind you, but probably good to do once or twice in your life.     #


» Double Driver, captures drivers installed on your system (handy once you have things setup the way you want to just keep it.) Useful for me since I have an older Photosmart printer on a wireless adaptor and getting the printer driver installed is a pain. Now I can just record what I have and use this to reinstall later.     #


» Amnesty Cookies. What perfect timing, getting this after having a "scrap cookie" at Mouse's Chocolates in Ouray this past weekend. They advertise the cookies as "whatever was left-over from our chocolate-making."     #

» Ouray Mountain Sports Rentals. After forgetting my plastic boots at home last week I was extremely happy to find they stocked the exact same brand and model I have at home (and I swapped out after the first day so I could try some leather boots instead. They certainly made the approach better...)     #


» Colo. rock slide rains boulders on bridge, highway. Happened at midnight last night, has shut down part of I-70 near Glenwood Springs.     #

» The making of Old Spice's commercial: The Man Your Man Could Smell Like. Amazing when you see what went into it, especially the very little amount of CGI.

» Photo Trekking: A Traveling Photographer's Guide to Capturing Moments Around the World. Looks worth picking up.     #


» Custom Food Bars and Cooking in the Airport. The cooking bit with the immersion heater is just smart.     #
