    Show off your pumpkins

    Re: Flashaholic Pumpkin Two years ago, I entered a pumpkin carving contest held by PopCap Games. At the time, my son and I enjoyed playing a game called "Heavy Weapon", and he wanted a pumpkin with that theme. Here's the logo which we used to design the jack o lantern: Here's the unlit...

    Arc AAA LE replaced after 6.5 years keyring duty

    I've got both on my keyring. I've been using the Arc-AAA since 2001. The Rebel L0D is about a year old. The black finish is nicked and scratched, but I don't really care about the appearance of the light. It's held up to use and abuse and works just fine. As shomie911 suggested, the L0D is...

    I just won a MILLION DOLLARS!!!

    What a coincidence! Over the past few months I've won a million free i-Pods and X-Boxes! (All I had to do was shock the monkey, punch Osama, etc.) I'll sell them all to you for $1 each. Just send the money by Western Union, via the branch office in Nigeria.

    Any place I should visit in Chicago??

    Don't bother with Uno's or Gino's pizza! If you're only going there for a weekend, you need a truly memorable pizza experience. Get a gut-busting, artery-clogging stuffed pizza at Giordano's Famous Stuffed Pizza, Edwardo's Natural Pizza, or Carmen's Pizza. (Links go to Google Maps) My...

    LED nightlight?

    The Datexx Sentina, as Craig as mentioned, is probably the Surefire of LED night lights. If you've got flashaholism to such a degree that you're *always* carrying a light, you probably don't need it. If you'd like the utility of an automatic night light that senses ambient light and motion...

    Exploding mobile phones

    "At least five mobile phones have exploded over the last two months in Brazil, causing anxiety among phone users and making news headlines." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/12/AR2006051200735.html Apparently, the problem is not isolated to Motorola phones...

    why don't they sell them here?

    I've been intrigued by the Toyota Hilux ever since I saw the Top Gear video. For those who haven't heard about it, the episode portrays several attempts to kill a Hilux by drowning, driving it through a building, dropping stuff on it, setting it on fire, etc...

    went to the doc

    If the halls are too narrow to use crutches, you could probably use only one crutch (the same side as the injured ankle) and use the free hand to steady yourself against a wall. I'm not sure how you'd carry the unused crutch around, though. Maybe loop something through it, and sling the loop...

    What's the plural of Fenix ?

    I agree with teststrips and bwaites that Fenix should not be pluralized, the word it modifies (flashlight, L1P, etc.) should be. That would be true if the word Fenix were derived from Greek or Latin. Index -> Indices Matrix -> Matrices Appendix -> Appendices Thorax -> Thoraces Varix ->...

    Vice president shoots man. Quail at the thought

    FlashInThePan: maybe I shouldn't have called the article "meta" journalism, and should have called it "quasi" journalism instead. Note that it does not cite primary sources (the doctor), it is a journalist's report about another journalist's report about a story. Such instances of prominent...

    Vice president shoots man. Quail at the thought

    I find it hard to believe that anybody in the White House thought "the story would die quietly without being reported". There is no possible way they could have covered up the incident. Delaying the announcement was definitely not a smart thing from a PR perspective. However, it is possible...
