Ambigrams
are words or phrases that can be read in more than one way or from more than a single vantage point, most commonly right-side-up and upside-down.
Ambigram.Matic is the world's first and only online Ambigram Generator! Flip any word, different words of the same length, or even an entire (symmetrically spaced) sentence on its head, and read it both ways!

I seriously need some inspiration here. I'm female, 32, single, miserable in my job, cannot seem to get it together, and don't seem to find enough hours in the day to simply HANDLE MY LIFE.

I'm trying to find the recipe for something called
sandulla (spelling is probably wrong,
san pronounced as in bonbon and
dulla as in hoola).

What are some of the better places to buy used Macs? What are good models to buy? I'd like something that can run OS X and still has some life left in it, but also hoping to keep the cost down.

Best book for a beginner to learn C? I've never learned a programming language, but I'm hoping to learn C over the summer. My friend, a computer science student, is going to teach me as he learns it. We would like a textbook or reference book or work book of some kind. What would be a good choice?

Traveling to France for a few weeks this summer. At home, I normally blow-dry my hair and set it in hot rollers, but I don't want to lug my full-sized stuff. Anyone have a suggestion for a really good large-barreled curling iron, or a compact set of hot rollers, as well as a small hair dryer? I've seen a few online, but if you have a rec for one you think is good, I'd like to hear it.

I make a fairly large monthly to-do list, usually a few words per task. But I omit the vowels for each word and put a dash for spaces, example: "RFLL-CLLNG-CRD" would be "REFILL CALLING CARD", here's one I can't solve...

When checking out a gchat link from a friend to nbc.com, my firefox froze as "jew.wmv" tried to run (unsuccessfully) and a screaming chorus of "I'm looking at gay porno" came out of my computer. Does anybody know what the hell this is?

My buddies and I just finished recording a cd that we'd like to sell on iTunes and in stores but don't want our names attached to it in any way. How can we handle getting the profits in the cheapest way possible?

Helen Keller speaks.
As an elementary school student of the 60's, I was schooled in Helen Keller's amazing accomplishments. I had no idea that there were
video records and
great stills. I am humbled. At least for today.
Anne Sullivan rocks, she should have been the first woman president.

Ubuntu has quickly become the number one
Linux distro for the desktop. Not only is it free, but it has also made Linux easier to use than ever. Now,
Wubi enables
Windows users to install Ubuntu just like any other application, so you no longer have to mess around with partitions, burning CDs, etc.
