A place for my stuff ...
I was listening to This Week In Tech (TWiT) and Leo Laporte said something that really hit home for me. In a nutshell, he made a statement that there will be a return to "the blog". His comment included an interesting statement that people were putting a lot of effort into microblogs and are not able to retain some of that content. I can see that. I have used Twitter for about a year, but I found it lacking real "depth". It is pretty shallow in what it can do.

These are some tips that have worked for me. If you follow these tips, you do so at your own risk. Please be careful and take all appropriate safety measures.
I do a lot of work on my own cars. As such, when dealing with electronic items, the rule of thumb is to disconncect the battery. I suppose this is to prevent an accidental short, or shock. Anyway, the battery cables in my Mustang are kind of stiff and have a tendancy to flop back onto the battery when disconnected. I found that a spent toilet paper tube (or paper towel roll) fits nicely over the end of the loose battery cable. This insulates the battery from an accidental touch in case the cable flops over and hits the terminal(s).
I believe this came from the PBS special. Here is the link to PBS ...
