Making A Slide Show
XATShow is a free program that lets you create a slide show from your photographs. Just add your photos and (optional) music files. You have several options for output -- an *.exe file, a screensaver, or a CD image (playable by DVD players that support the Video CD format).
I played around with this last night, and it works pretty well. Today I think I'll get serious and create a Video CD of our Hawaii photos.

Caps For Geeks
A good selection of geek beanies, with propellers.
Geek Culture offers you some really cool and unique geek caps. Our caps aren't like those goofy joke ones you'll feel like a nerd wearing. ;-) These are the Rolls Royces of Propeller Caps, ...quality beanies for seriously fashion-conscious geeks!
Shown here is
your basic black beanie.
100% cotton, with white strip around the knitted rim, and neat adjustable strap so it fits any geeky head ... so cool! Only $12.95! (without propeller) Only $23.95 with a propeller, or even cooler, double up the propellers for only an extra $4.95!

The Bureau Of Corporate Allegory
The Bureau of Corporate Allegory. Interesting images from old stock certificates.
Each has an engraving of some allegorical figure, etched with the same care you find on money, but depicting scenes of surreal Olympian figures designed as a metaphor for business... The images were too peculiar to pass up. I bought a batch, scanned them in, and voila: the Bureau of Corporate Allegory.
Note: The Next/Back link on these pages is a bit messed up.

No Toilet Paper Shortage
Apparently, there's a rumor circulating that the Southern California wildfires has caused a severe toilet paper shortage. According to Snopes, it's not true.
Southern California may well be the nation's supplier of fruits and vegetables, but for toilet paper one has to look elsewhere.
