ComputerSurplusOutlet is trying to get rid of an Itronix box for $99.00.  We used to give these to the CAT (catastrophe) teams at USAA when I worked there.  Of course, we paid upwards of $5000.00 for them then.

Another great dog training site.  I haven't read through it all yet but the first few articles seemed link-worthy.

Kimbro Staken might be my latest fave technological pundit.  I stumbled across his take on Microsoft's RSS Discovery using UDDI and agreed whole heartedly with his assessment.

Lately, I've been reading, "All the Best: My Life in Letters and Other Writings", a collection of letters compiled from George H. W. Bush's life.  It's interesting reading whether you are a fan of his or not and it definitely helps you understand more where he's coming from on a lot of issues.  I get the sense that the guy is a genuinely nice person from a completely different era than we live in today.  Many of the things that he says reflect a "Camelot-like" America, which he seemed to very firmly believe in.

And it's got all sorts of cool diary entries in it like this one from the 1988 campaign trail:

"March 6th

In Kansas City, we went to a shopping center and it was good, though weird T-shirts.  There was one woman who had the most unusual T-shirt on I had ever seen-- it was pink with light blue writing on it and it said something on it like, 'What would happen if everyone in the world farted at once?'  She was a nice woman, and she had her child with her; but she and her husband seemed totally oblivious to the fact that she had that sign painted on the front of her shirt..."

All in all, a heartily recommended read.

What happens to e-mail addresses when people die?  I know when I pass away, a good 3 or 4 of the addresses I have will still be out there, not shut down, since relatively few people close to me know about them.

My suggestion: send a eulogy to the e-mail of the deceased and have it sit out in cyberspace until the hive collective recycles the address.

Creative Thinking by a Working Mom. I don't know whether to applaud this level of efficiency or decry this level of micromanagement of one's family.  I guess the real question is, are they happy?  If so, then all I've got to say is, "You go girl!" [New York Times: Business]

The Floor Shook, But They Didn't. Maybe the best strategy for maintaining business in a weak economy is simply to sit tight. But when the outlook is bleak, well-planned action may also pay off in a big way. By Lawrence Van Gelder. [New York Times: Business]

That wasn’t supposed to be dog food. The dog ate one of my implants!” wails Courtney Love.

Panties in a wad.  Tom Jones announces that he feels insulted when women throw panties at him -- unless of course, they are used.   “I give it my all onstage because I want to fill the crowd with enthusiasm - but that which comes from the heart and not out of a plastic bag.”

Size does matter!
So what do you do when you have been accused of sexual assaults? You announce you have one inch willy and get cleared of all charges.
“I am too embarrassed to show myself to another person,” said John Webb.  all via [davezilla.com]
