Searching for Search
For grins, I thought I'd give the new MSN Search a spin. Query: search. #1 result: Google. Oops?
Your eBay Auctions in RSS
Ponzi finally got around to posting her tale last night. Even Dave got mad props! Any suggestions as to what we should eBay around here? How about a remote control that doesn't have a matching component? Or all of the clothes that are no longer in style (or don't fit)? Well, you can keep your [...]

Bambi
I don't care which side of the political fence you sit on, if you ever watch the news, you really need to see Bambi. Is it controversial? Yes. Biased? Certainly. 100% true? Doubtful. Thought-provoking? Extremely. Heck, you can even download it if you'd rather not wait for the DVD.
