Has anyone tried one of the electronic quick-finder dog nail trimmers (like
this)? Are they worth the extra $10 or so?

With the wild success of the Guitar Hero series, using video game controllers shaped like guitars is nothing new. However, the duo at
Modal Kombat actually use guitars as video game controllers. They won't reveal all of their tricks, but you can read a bit about their technology
here and at
this interview with Urban Guitar. The results are awfully impressive. View the original Modal Kombat
here, and their newest installment, the admittedly trippy GuitarKart
here.

Jazz-heads - help me fill out my Xmas wish-list. Especially seeking those with rec's for (say) quartets to octets featuring Baritone Sax, Trombone, and/or strong and prominent rhythm sections.

Recommendations for a good pocket-friendly digital camera? I'm finally ready to replace the Canon Power Shot S200 that was pinched by robbers a few years ago with a similar sized but updated camera. Looking for something approximately the size of a pack of cigarettes or smaller. Budget is in the $250-$300 range.

Dallas (and anyone else that feels like making the drive in) Meetup! Sunday December 16th at 7 PM. We're thinking that starting at
The Meridian Room in Exposition Park for appetizers (and dinner for those that want it) and then seeing where the night takes us from there is a grand idea.

So, my father has a ton of old (50's-60's) baseball/football/collector cards and is nearing retirement. I'd like to help him sell them. I've a lot of questions here.

Oh, Inverted World.
As we’ve all learned in school, 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, only 30% is solid ground. What if everything was reversed? What if every land mass was a body of water, and vice versa?

How do I find/buy/examine a used roadbike? I don't want to win the Tour De France, I just want to cycle around the lake near our house 2-3 times a week (which I can access crossing just one major street which has a stoplight). Approx. 12 miles or so...

The Centennial Project.
During the
100th Anniversary of Oklahoma's statehood, MeFi'er
Brittanie is serializing two personal first-person accounts of her family's journey into the Sooner State, including both her
great-great-grandfather's efforts to make the 1891 Land Run and
another relative's meticulous biographical history which extends as far back as the Civil War. [via

Searching through the tags, I don't think this has been asked before. I'm looking for feeds that I can slap into my Bloglines that will keep me updated on Nintendo DS releases and reviews.

The Advent of a Great Awakening.
(video) Mr. Rogers's doppleganger has some good news to share with you. Seven minutes in is a particularly surreal place to start. The 18:45 mark is also notably creepy.

In search of eco-friendly patio furniture. We'd like to get a nice table and four chairs for the pending badass wooden deck in the backyard. Budget would be somewhere in the vicinity of $150-$250. Are we delusional?

Looking for foreign words for something akin to sock(s), glove(s), mitten(s), shoe(s), etc. I'm (apparently) adopting
this sweet girl tomorrow morning, and am considering names for her. Given her markings, something like this
may work, so long as it would make a good dog name.

Any Houston MeFites looking for a couch to crash on for a few days? I've got two in East Dallas. I bet some others here may as well. E-mail's in the profile. Good luck.

Yeah, it's another one of those "help me find resources for when I go to
insert city here", but this time it's a small tourist town where the only information I can find from Google is crappy resort and vacation package sites. Probably a bit of a crapshoot, but I need some help finding info and tips on Panama City, Florida.

I've got a couple of friends that are getting married shortly and then taking off to Morocco for a couple of years early this Fall. Given the unique nature of the first few years of their marraige, they don't have a conventional registry. I'd like to get them a couple of books that are either set in Morocco or deal with Moroccan people elsewhere.

I've been nudged enough - by more than a few interested parties - to point out that it just may be time for another Dallas MeFi meetup. Granted, we've an awful lot
to live up to this time around, but how many of us metroplexuals are in and when and where? (and yes, Eris, you brought this on - and maybe, just maybe, we can trump the record in my apartment of six people crashing at my place)

"At BASF, we don't make a lot of the products you buy. We make a lot of the products you buy better." Okay, then. I have no idea whch, if any of the products that I buy (or opt not to) are touched by your company. Why the hell do you keep advertising to end users like myself?
