though from that second, http://www.teenink.com looks good, from a quick look over it - ellbeecee

It's like building a lego house, but you can walk around inside and watch a sunset from the roof. - Bruce Lewis

These goslings and their parents on the South Bay Haborwalk seemed calm about people approaching close. - Bruce Lewis

That's my weekly total, not my daily average. I'm going to see if someone already filed a bug. - Bruce Lewis

"Minor point: "the past 20 years" only go back to April 8, 1994. The commercial Internet predates that, and is in turn predated by the browser, HTTP and TCP/IP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H..." - Bruce Lewis

They're sending a new one. I'm going to make her write a thank-you note to reinforce that most companies won't just replace what you bought if you don't take care of it.

"Never mind those feature-packed smart watches like Samsung Corp.’s $300 Galaxy Gear. If you must strap something digital to your body, you are better off with a fitness monitor like the Fitbit Force.

It’s not quite as exciting as reading e-mail messages on your wrist, but it’s a lot more practical." - Bruce Lewis
