You can easily parse the return results...

It gives you the suggestions even if your browser doesn't have JacaScript :-)

Enjoy, and please post here if you make any cool suggestion tools!

"Let's face it how often do you use your camera?" I use my cameras (Sony DSC-U20, Olympus E20 (sample), Sony DSC-U60 underwater camera, Canon S100 a lot (4,000+ photos) but then again you're probably going to like the swimsuit photos best ;-)

Computer Geek: The Slashdot Effect is the sudden, relatively temporary surge in traffic to a Web site that occurs when a high-traffic Web site or other source posts a story that refers visitors to another Web site.

Yoda: Pales it does to the Dark Side

Yoda: Fear is the path of the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

Computer Geek: But the slashdot effect is cool!

Yoda: Zapht! [Yoda cuts Computer Geek in half with light saber.] Weak in the force was that one.

Sig: Hot girls and girls with alcohol on my homepage.

When you stumble out of a club with your "crew" it is quite fun calling a cab company and trying to remember where it is your going so you can tell them... Then as you wait for your cab to get there, you can hang out and take pictures and such. When the cab does make it there you can wave your hands, jump in that puppy and have even more fun, maybe you'll even find out your cab drivers name is Fuzzy. Once you make it back to the hotel you can watch an amazing animal planet where crocidiles and cheetahs battle each other.
Anyway, that's how it worked this weekend in Champaign IL after the Roger Ebert Overlooked Film Festival (13 conversations and Sometimes Charlotte were awesome!) You just have to check out the Highdive dance club, that's where we were getting a cab from after they closed for the night (checkout the 3d virtual tours to get an idea how pimporific the place is.)
What I'm trying to say is that drunken tasks are sometime hillarious, and technology might make it too easy :-)

That is a great application (thanks for the URL) I may have to add something similar to my blog but I am really surprised by the lack of activity on this post. There seem to be many possible uses for this API and hopefully others will follow Google and Amazon's lead. The post below about eBay is particularly interesting, any other sites out there that you would like to see with a publicly accessible API? Pricewatch might be my vote. (If blogs aren't your style, maybe swimsuits are?)

Last year at Drury U in Springfield MO I had a Palm Vx ($199) with a Minstrel CDPD modem (off eBay for $40.) With that you have a dedicated IP anywhere in town and actually in the downstairs below the Commons (cafeteria.) We used to post log entries from the Palm during live band performances downstairs, anyhoo, we also had a web server on the Palm and it was pretty pimp.

Here are some photos of the setup:

Both cameras (4 megapixel and 5 megapixel respectively) have time lapse features. You can set the time from 1 minute to 24 hours.

My CIS teacher today was talking about using 802.11b in lieu of Excite@Home and what not (he may be getting cut off tomorrow.) That got me to thinking about an iPaq/Yopy (or any of the other linux/pocket pc capable PDA's), 802.11b PCMCIA/CompactFlash card and a VOIP application, all combined with a nice NAN (Neighborhood Area Network.)

About 5 linksys WAPS ($139 a Piece on Pricewatch) would cover our entire campus (I have my own personal one but it just covers the dorm.) Anyway, carrying around a little PDA (or using your laptop) would give you nice voice/video/data as long as you were in range, spread those WAP puppies around the city and that would be pretty pimp. Imagine roaming with nice speeds anywhere in town.

That brings me to the point where I am clueless. Can anybody help, how do you provide seamless transitions between WAPs? I'd hate to be downloading a file and wander out of one WAPs range, can another closeby pick me up seamlessly? (I know I can connect to either, but can it switch automatically without interrupting communcation?) Linux seems to usually be the most ahead in these types of bleeding edge apps... Anybody have any URLs?

I don't know if DOS retaliation is the right tact to take, but it sure is a shame we can't have a real life doberman that will sick whoever makes a pop-under ad... Wonder where X-10 HQ is?
