Site of the Day

Everything you ever wanted to know about DNS stuff!

You can access Domain Name Tests, WHOIS, traceroutes, pings, IP Tests, Hostname tests, and everything else you need to know about DNS. You can even look up a mail server to see if it's listed in 150+ spam databases. There's an "Abuse Lookup" so that you find an abuse contact from a domain.

AND...when you log on, you'll see your own IP number at the top of the page.

Try it!

Let's call a halt to stripping!

Power stripping, that is.

Don't you just hate those power strips? Bulky converters are space hogs, and several outlets on the average power strip go unused.

The folks at ThinkGeek have a solution: the PowerSquid.

• 5 grounded adapter-ready outlets

• 4 foot power cord

• Yellow lighted master switch with 15-amp circuit breaker

Only $14.99.

You're welcome!

Granny's Closet

A girl can never have enough storage space!

At last, a QUIET (as in "NO FAN") hard drive.

It's on the network, and its name is Cyclops. 250 gigs. Backs up the whole iTunes Library and then some!

Highly recommended.

Don't You Love Photoshop?

From Princess Sparkle Pony's Photo Blog

Zell Miller crushes a kitten.

You remember Zell. He's the Senator from Georgia: a "Democrat" who gave a keynote speech at the Republican National Convention. He once had a hissy fit on Chris Matthews' HARDBALL and challenged Matthews to a duel.

The Princess has way too much time on her hooves!

Vintage Postcards

Perfect Way to Waste Time on a Rainy Monday

For a trip into the past, check out the on-line of collection of postcards from restaurants before there was an Applebee's at every major intersection. Columnist, blogger and collector or all things retro James Lileks is also the author of the book, The Gallery of Regrettable Food. Don't miss his adventures into the wonderful world of Jello-O ads. The awful Carrot and Cabbage Jell-O Salad is an example of a free society gone bonkers.

If you have even more time to waste, you can check out Lilek's book Interior Desecrations : Hideous Homes From The Horrible 70's from the Springfield-Greene County Library.
