Help find musician Dec 1, 08, 2:01 p.m.

Can anyone tell me the name of that British guy who until maybe this summer, nobody knew his identity? Starts with a "B" I'm pretty sure. Electronic music I think.

This Jackass... Nov 28, 08, 12:10 p.m.

Anyone ever see this guy on Food Network? Why does he remind me of everything that uncool people did and thought was cool in 1998 (and still to this day I guess): bleached spiky hair, stupid sports sunglasses with colored lenses worn behind the neck indoors, giant diamond earring on a white guy, the goatee mustache combo that doesn't match the hair...

What is your prediction for final score? It's 28-3 in the 2nd right now

Office of Pres Elect Nov 25, 08, 3:57 p.m.

I am really amazed that this story even exists. I don't think at all that Obama is trying to say there's an official government office of the President Elect; I think it's simply referring to the place where he's speaking from, his "office." No different than saying the "bathroom" of the president elect, or the "house" of the president elect. So damn stupid.

President-elect Barack Obama is looking very presidential these days. When he makes an announcement, he is ringed by American flags and stands behind a lectern that has a very presidential-looking placard announcing "The Office of the President-Elect."

But the props are merely that. Under the Constitution, there is no such thing as the Office of the President-elect. Technically, Obama will not even become the president-elect until the Electoral College convenes after the second Wednesday in December and elects him based on the results of the Nov. 4 general election, as stated in the Constitution.

CSS/WPress - want to help? Nov 25, 08, 8:18 a.m.

I've been working on a new portfolio site and integrating my wordpress blog directly into the site's layout. I've run into some snags with the CSS in Wordpress, mainly in getting a single large background image to repeat consistently as the page grows longer. Works in IE, doesn't work in FF and Safari.

I've retooled a wordpress stylesheet before, using individual background images for the narrowcolumn, widecolumn, header, sidebar, etc. but this current layout is different.

If you're good with CSS and would like to have a look, shoot me an email. I'll do something to make it worth your while. I'm just at my wits end and want to get this figured out and finish up this site soon. Thanks!

Alarm Clock Usability Nov 24, 08, 11:10 a.m.

Have any of you ever replaced an alarm clock you had for years with a new one and just found it to be a nightmare?

I've had the same one since I was 18, and I'm almost 31 now. Replaced it last week with a new one with an ipod dock and all sorts of waterfall, beach, ambient tones for falling asleep.

And the one night I used it it was horrible. Big full display screen (as opposed to just the numbers lit up.) and even the dimmer was too bright. like having a stadium next to me.

Couldn't set both the radio for alarm 1 and the buzz for alarm 2 like my old one, and more than anything the button arrangement just made no sense. You don't put the power button anywhere near the snooze button!

Anyhow, this is a totally random thread but I'm curious if anyone else has had to get used to a new one. Such an afterthought of an item until you change it. I need to look for a new one now and this one is so good looking, but a bit too pricey:

free avi to iphone video? Nov 23, 08, 6:55 p.m.

I looked around with the filter but couldn't find anything.

Looking for the best free software for Mac to convert avi files to iphone video format - I guess that's mp4, right?

Any suggestions?

Gmail Question Nov 20, 08, 8:18 a.m.

So, I'm curious... Gmail has been around for at least two years now, right? Why does the logo still refer to it being a beta version?

Office 08 mac question Nov 14, 08, 3:21 p.m.

Can anyone tell me if files worked on or created in Office 2008 for Mac are compatible with Windows based Office 2003?

Please let me know ASAP if you know the answer. Mainly I need to know if I create a new Word file in 08 for Mac, will it open and work in Windows 2003 Word.

Much thanks!

Want to watch cat all day Nov 13, 08, 11:31 a.m.

I was talking to someone at work yesterday about what our pets do at home all day and how I think it'd be cool to have a time-lapse of my cat walking around and doing whatever she does. Exciting life, I know.

If I were to set something up to have a camera in my apartment and stream this to a web page, how would I do this? Are there services for this? Would it be free? Anyone done anything like this before?

Band Poster $ ? Nov 5, 08, 9:10 a.m.

Any of you guys do band posters as freelance work? I mostly do them for my band only, but got a request to do one for a band in California who saw my portfolio and posters.

For an unsigned band, would it be customary to give them a price, or let them offer whatever they can pay? I'm probably not too into their music based on their influences, but thought of a great concept, and, frankly, the exposure would be nice.

Thoughts?

Divert Yourself Now Nov 4, 08, 1:13 p.m.

If you could go anywhere in the world right now by yourself, pack your bags in 30 minutes and hop on a plane and be there by tomorrow morning with the one caveat being that you could only go by yourself and not meet anyone you know at that location, where would you go and why?
