I recommend joining a volunteer organization/club that appeals to you... typically they'll post opportunities in their newsletters... often you can list your skills when you sign up... of course you can also ask.
Good luck.
I read that pregnant women are in a high risk category for the swine flu and that the FluMist is not approved for pregnant women.
My wife is pregnant and we can't find the h1n1 vaccine in Virginia. Until it becomes available, we're using low-tech methods.
Personally, I'd take the shot if it was required by my employer. But it doesn't seem like people really would have to choose between losing their job and getting the shot. If they claim they're allergic to eggs, I highly doubt they would test for that. People allergic to chicken eggs aren't given flu shots.
The.gov site wasn't super fast but it worked. You would think Section 508 compliance wouldn't be an outstanding issue with such a large high-profile contract. I wonder how much more money the contractor will get to make the site compliant.
Recovery.gov results for my zip code: $0
I actually support no-texting laws to bring awareness to everyone who apparently hasn't gotten the message about driving while distracted. Although, I wish in Virginia it wasn't a secondary offense.
I suppose you could also make the argument that DWI/DUI laws aren't necessary either because that could be covered under reckless driving. Then we'd have more people thinking they could drive drunk so long as they don't drive badly.
Here in Virginia, Japanese Stiltgrass is becoming a major problem. I believe it is an annual that can be controlled by cutting before it goes to seed in September.
The article says humans cannot detect the fatty acid extracts, but I wonder if this theory expands to mammals. After getting a couple of squirrels with my tube trap, squirrels now seem afraid to enter. My wife thought they might "smell death"
I don't understand why everyone makes such a big deal of the Super Bowl commercials. Just because they're expensive time slots to buy doesn't mean they're going to be worth watching. Tonight I caught the soft drink one with Bill Frist and James Carville and it was amusing, but basically the commercials just provide a convenient time to visit the commode.
Congratulations to Lego for 50 years. I remember the yellow castleland I enjoyed as a kid. I used to wake up my parents early on weekend mornings, they'd get out a lego set for me to play with and go back to sleep.
I received a personal weather station as a gift. It's not the kind that broadcasts to the Internet, but it's still nice to be able to check the outside temperature when inside. My only complaint is that it runs through batteries. We're down to 7.2F tonight right now in Virginia and the cold weather is hard on batteries. Lithium batteries seem to last longer, but they are also more expensive. I recommend a classic non-electric thermometer as backup. In my area, you can be a weather watcher for the local TV station with minimal equipment: just a reliable thermometer and rain gauge.
I remember Munchman was the first game I played on a TI-99-4A computer. It's like Pac-Man in reverse; you lay down chain instead of eat up dots. Other great games for the TI-99-4A include Parsec and Alpiner. I actually still have the system and it works.
Don is right; music is about the songs, not the sound quality. That being said, record players will be around for a long time for novelty and historical reasons, but I don't see how they are going to make a significant comeback. And I'm a low-tech guy that doesn't even own an iPod.
A few years ago, Union Pacific was going to go after model train companies. They wanted a licensing fee for using their logo, but according to Model Railroader Magazine, "Mike Wolf, president and owner of MTH Electric Trains, has negotiated a new royalty-free licensing deal."

I too was wondering why there hasn't been much discussion on sniffers.
I've canceled mine, too, but don't watch Internet TV... just free over-the-air tv. More info here, if interested.
Speaking of mimicking natural materials for human purposes, the invention of velcro is a good example as it is based off of hitchhikers.

Right, not a new story... but still an interesting discussion.

Thanks for posting. I finally upgraded from version 2.3 to 2.8.4 for my blogs.

I posted a blog post in an attempt to clarify my thoughts.

Right on. The occasional meal at McDonalds will not cause an active child to become obese.
