Eclectic junk from the four corners of the ‘Net. And pictures too!
I finished selecting photos from my last New York trip. I managed to take some photos in Moma, a cool Japanese resturant called Kenka, and had a wonderful birthday dinner at my wifes place (her birthday, not mine).

I need one of these for my next visit to the movies. All those people are too uptight, they need to relax.

It’s a clever idea, I hope it goes well. The CBLDF can use all the money it can get.
Neil Gaiman naming auction benefits Comic Book Legal Defense Fund
Neil Gaiman is auction off naming rights for a ship in his upcoming novel as a fundraiser for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.Neil Gaiman writes: “I’ve got to name a currently unnamed cruise ship in Anansi Boys. I have no idea what to call it, and, a couple of days ago, realised that my utter lack of inspiration could do good things for the CBLDF. If you wish, you can bid to have the ship named after you, your loved one, your dog, or even your favourite word.”
All proceeds from this auction will benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that specializes in the defense of First Amendment related cases on behalf of comics authors and retailers.

BTW, the latest copy of MobilePC has something on this subject in it… but remember that it’s the April issue.

I don’t see Linux being a good use for this unless you have a small hard drive free system that you need a rewriteable filesystem. It would be handy for a remote device, like a balloon payload or something like that. Pretty neat
If you have spare SD cards lying around your house, why not employ them for something useful? This SD to IDE adapter allows your PC to recognize SD cards as though they were a hard drive. Since this works at the BIOS level, you can even boot directly from SD. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to update your Linux Live CD on an SD card instead of having to rewrite a CD over and over again?
