Your Two Cents

If you have not already noticed by the little red comment links beneath the posts, I have finally gotten comments enabled on the site. There is still a little work yet to be done. For instance the “Thank you for your post” page needs to be prettied up to match the site. Otherwise, things should just work. Please feel free to put your two cents in on anything that strikes your fancy.

The Diamond Business

As someone who has recently shopped for a diamond ring (Yes, Ms. Bethany knows as we went together), I find this article, titled “Have You Ever Tried To Sell a Diamond” by Edward Jay Epstein on the history, tactics and underbelly of the diamond business especially fascinating. One thing I can say, some people’s idea of one, two or three months salary clearly makes me eligible for food stamps.

(Special thanks to Michelle for sending this my way… And for her advice to “just do it”.)

Flying Toasters

Now this is the most retrolicious thing ever. The Flying Toasters screen saver, that most famous of screen savers, is back and better than ever. Surely you remember the flagship of the After Dark screen saver collections don’t you? Even if you don’t this is a geek must have for the new era. Available for Mac or PC. Get it while it is hot (pun intended).
