We found one positive spin with higher gas prices. I live about 5 miles outside the city where I work. We had a budget set aside for gas. Recently due to changes in not allowing transfers from one school district to another we are looking to move into town, cutting our commute distance to less than ...

There is some great information on the site as well f...

How about multiple useless minors? I've got a BS in Biology with minors in english, anthropology and chemistry. Actually, now that I think about it they weren't totally useless. I have a job in a biotech company, dealing directly with people across the globe and a good deal of the interactions are w...

I've had an inkling to try this. The first step would be a GPS. What model do you have? I just started last week so take any info I give with a grain of salt. I've got a Garmin Etrex which is the bare bones model for geocaching. My Sister-in-Law has a Magellen Sport(something)pro which has more mem...

Any geocachers?

Did a search and it looks like there are a couple here. I got a GPS for Christmas and so did my brother's wife. We've been out a few times already and are loving it. Already been to a couple areas I had no idea were there and I've lived in this town for 15 years! Great family activity if you like th...

Are you talking about free sites? Pay sites? Things have changed since napster and kazaa. I'm sure there are still ways to get commercial songs "free", but that probably is best discussed elsewhere...... All of the file trading networks and such are under attack right now,although there a...

Any good free MP3 sites to recommend?

My in-laws got me a mp3 player for Christmas and being a near total web tech noob I was wondering if anyone can recommend any free mp3 download sites. I've got very wide ranging musical tastes so anything is fair game. One interesting site I found a while back and have on minidisc is... http://www.q...

My wife and I currently don't have one but with the commuting we do and one of our children in school now, I can see it coming. One of the main reasons I don't is because my job entails a lot of phone work. The last thing I want to do when I'm at home or travelling is talk on the phone. The most con...

Actually, it reminded me of an on air radio stunt I heard a while ago where they had people doing stupid tricks for chances at a trip somewhere. One of the guys said he could break a schnaps bottle on his head. It was the most disturbing sound I ever heard when the bottle didn't break...the second t...

Somewhat OT: Anybody use CDbaby?

My Band, Kusi Taki, just released a new CD and re-released our first one from 1997 and are looking for a good online vender service. CDbaby was recommended as a good service. From what I understand they do all the shipping and whatnot, we just send them a supply of CDs and they take a cut. This isn'...

I'll join in with the minidisc crowd. The thing I like best about MD is that I can record from ANY source. I can hook up a set of soundproffesional binaural mics (very cool mics) and record live. I can use the digital line in to copy anything from my home stereo. I can use the 3mm plug line in to co...
