Probably ridiculously obvious Excel question: how do I set it so that a URL is

Roadtrip technology. Which would you prefer, high-tech solutions (web-enabled phone/Palm, laptop, GPS) or low-tech solutions (maps, AAA Triptiks, GoogleMaps printouts) or some combination?

It's that time once again. Please feel free to sign up now for another round of the
MeFiSwap. (And yes, the security glitch that plagued a subsection of the site for a few days last time around have been addressed and solved.)

BlueSilver Podcast
Because blogging in numerous places isn't enough, I've joined the masses and started a podcast in the "Personal Journals" vein. Storytelling, opinion-sharing and little glimpses into my life in the middle of nowhere with my big, crazy family and a closet full of memories.

Another Pittsburgh meetup? Twice in one month? Unpossible! But wait, now that we're finally over the first successful meetup hump, maybe not. On August 29, in conjunction with the
Restaurants for Relief Katrina aid event by
Share Our Strength, the
Quiet Storm Coffee House is donating 50% of their dinner income to help rebuild the Gulf coast. Anyone want to have a veg*n meal, some interesting conversation and contribute to a good cause all at once?

Marshals: Innocent People Placed On 'Watch List' To Meet Quota
"Innocent passengers are being entered into an international intelligence database as suspicious persons, acting in a suspicious manner on an aircraft ... and they did nothing wrong," says one federal Air Marshal. Why? Because a memo from management requires marshals to file one Surveillance Detection Report (SDR) per month, and failure to do so will negatively impact upon their annual raises, bonuses, awards and special assignments.
Marshals deny fabricating stories wholesale, but claim to have resorted to creatively stretching the truth to turn benign acts into potential threats and the
harm this may cause to people who have done nothing wrong seems irrelevant to the marshals and the TSA officials who created the rules.

Reminder: There is just one week (give or take 12 hours) to sign up for the latest go of the
MeFiSwap. The more the merrier, and right now participation numbers are kind of low, perhaps because the announcement scrolled off of MeTa in less than 36 hours, so if you were wondering if it's on, yes, it's on! Get in while you can.

For those who are interested, I'm open to running another session of the
MeFiSwap and have fiddled up the site (hat tip to the Metafilter Writers Group for the look) to make it a little easier for everyone to deal with. If you're in, come sign up.

Survey redux... the virtual idea was overwhelmingly shot down, so once again
I'm asking for your input on the future of the MeFiSwap. This will be the last survey, from here we'll move forward to start the next swap on May 1, in whichever format is most preferred, so if you have any inclination toward swap participation whatsoever, please weigh in on this one. (And let's hope this stays on the front page of the grey long enough for everyone to know about this. Spread the word.)

Voice your opinion on the future of the MeFiSwap. Or at least the MeFiSwap as I've got a hand in it. If you've been a part in the past, if you want to be a part in the future, if you've just got a thought you want to share, here's an opportunity.

We've tried it before without success, but third time's the charm? How about a Pittsburgh-area meetup for the holidays? Get together, drink some nog, take some shout-out pics, celebrate the season?

Stupid and probably very simple networking question: how compatible are the 802.11g and 802.11b protocols? Can a 802.11b networking card and 802.11g router be used together harmoniously?

It lives! It lives! After much fiddling, the MeFiSwap is back, bigger, brighter and better than ever with a new administrative system that will (knock wood) eliminate all of the human delays which have plagued it to date. Come, register, swap.
Also, if you were a part of the last one, please take a minute to
follow-up on its success, if you would. Ta.

Uno tiempo mas con seriedad -- there are more than 30 of us in the Pittsburgh metroplex judging solely by those who've given zip codes. Is there
any interest in a meetup? It's grey, it's cold, it's damp, we're entitled to a little fun, aren't we? (Related question: should we attempt to work through the rubric of
meetup.com? I'd be happy to organize, fwiw.)

Save the Bunnies!
Every year, thousands of "pet" rabbits are purchased as Easter gifts, usually for kids, without much thought to the years of care which the animals will need. Within months, humane societies and pet shelters are flooded with the animals, many of which must be euthanized, as there simply aren't enough adopters to give them new homes. In response, the Columbus House Rabbit Society encourages everyone to eschew pet rabbit gifts and say
Make Mine Chocolate!TM instead. And since no campaign is worthwhile these days without a symbolic lapel pin, you can
wear a chocolate bunny to spread the message.
