→ this is relevant on at least two levels: make your own peeps. like from a kit: "WHAM-O's Marshmallow Peeps Marshmallow Maker comes complete with one marshmallow extruder, three marshmallow molds with six shapes, a Peeps stirring stick, measuring cup, two sets of marshmallow mixes and 2 packets of sanding sugar, making anytime a perfect time for some marshmallow Peeps fun." i count six uses of the word "marshmallow" in that sentence, btw. that's 14%. | comment 2 | trackback 0

→ despite finding it "to be a great service," this review of the new napster from the boys over at engadget, points the achilles heel with the non-itunes/ipod services out there. they (to flip the apple tag line) don't just work; it's not easy getting diff devices from diff manufacturers all to work together proplerly: "Yes, it was really that kludgy. But a full day and two players later, we were finally up and running with Napster To Go." i know don't have the patience for that. . . | comment 0 | trackback 0

→ sounds like google print is up and running. try it out by adding the word "book" to the beginning of your querry. for example, enter "book gulliver's travels" into google and your first result (up top) is the actual text of the book. | comment 1 | trackback 0

→ while this endicia looks like a slick, elegant product, i can't seem to get my head around why people would spend $15/mo to be able to buy postage (at normal prices)? are that many small businesses sending so many non-standard (first class, sub-one ounce, $0.37) envelopes that it's worth it? | comment 0 | trackback 0

→ rach's pointer to the cheese diaries led me to american cheese society. not sure membership makes sense for me, but that did lead me to the cheese primer. which is now on my amazon wish list. oh, and according to this post artisanal offers three months internships in cheese. hm. now that is tempting. . . | comment 0 | trackback 0
