Rick Steves, Sicily and Germany's Black Forest and My DELL Axim
I have a Dell Axim that is a very active podcast player. Yesterday while checking out what I had on the old SD chip to listen to before going on a bike ride. My Axim frooze up!!! After some serious trouble shooting I think I understand the problem:
Seems Rick Steves podcast on Sicily was just starting. My Axim, I found out later, is in the federal PDA protection program and was afraid to play something about Sicily.... so it froze up solid knowing it would get a hard reboot ... nothing in memory could follow it after the battery is out and it cools down. Sometimes I blame the all too frequent reboots on "it runs Windows" but this time there was a much more sinister reason.

It is a little known fact that I was "assigned" to the purple Polly Pocket factory. Do you remember the "Polly Pocket" toys of about 15 years ago? Check out these links to refresh your memory Polly Pocket on EBay and from a big collector Polly Pocket Toys from 1989 to 2002 and more current .. Pollyworld and EverthingGirl.com anyway back in the day these toys were made as you may think all in the same factories and yes mostly in China. Except there was on special facility that was in suburban Virginia where the "purple" Polly Pockets were made.

Sun, 11/05/2006 - 11:15 — papa bearLet’s start with “What is a blog?” It is a website where users post informal journals that are updated frequently and reflect the views and interests of the blog's creator. Mine “Sarasota Livin’ (www.moraca.org)” focuses on urban issues in Sarasota.
“Is communicating about neighborhood issues through blogs the wave of the future?”
The future is already here it's just not evenly distributed .... in some area's blogs or hyper-local news web sites are an important way for locals to share information and in "big" cities they can be very specialized such as NYC real estate sales / rentals by neighborhood. Lawrence Kansas has an awesome "hyper-local" blog scene much of it helped by the local "media empire"
