Why does the tooth fairy not show herself?
She's magical.

Thanks. (FF has become my go-to place for all tooth fairy questions.)

According to last week's Supernatural, Garth (DJ Qualls) killed the tooth fairy.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
I always assumed the tooth fairy was like Santa Claus, an organization with a figurehead that the public sees, while the real work was done by a UPS-like corporation.

Coz she's a sneak!

Because she's wearing a mask made out of all the teeth she's collected, and if you peek and see her, she'll come back and kill your whole town, and you and your friends will have to fight her, and damn, I forgot how that movie ends, so I will have to watch it again.

Perhaps. Next tooth maybe we'll leave a note asking if she does.

"He said the U.S. patent system makes it too easy for companies to get patents on software. “There are places in the world where you can’t get a software patent, or at least it’s harder, like Europe,” he said. “We think that’s probably the better way to go.”"

"But it was too late. The suit had cost $3 million, and the financial damage was done. In December, Mr. Phillips agreed to sell his company to Mr. Ricci. “We were on the brink of changing the world before we got stuck in this legal muck,” Mr. Phillips said. Mr. Phillips and Vlingo are among the thousands of executives and companies caught in a software patent system that federal judges, economists, policy makers and technology executives say is so flawed that it often stymies innovation."

"In the first three quarters of 2011, the five largest publicly traded insurers reported their best three-quarter performance of the past decade, Bloomberg found. The companies' average operating margin widened to 8.65 percent in 2011, compared with 6.9 percent in the 18 months before the law was passed, surpassing Wall Street analysts’ expectations."

Hey, I've been meaning to ask if OurDoings can be integrated into a Weebly site. The UI already has modules for photo galleries, but it allows only so many users. Some teachers have expressed interest in adding pictures from the class on their web pages. That means I would have to do it and I don't want to.
- Anika
There's nothing specifically for Weebly, but there's a "Parent URL" option that lets the home link in the breadcrumbs point somewhere else, e.g. the classroom's main weebly site.
- Bruce Lewis
So, I can set up an account for them, add the URL and they can use it to populate their page? Will it it be a photo gallery or a link?
- Anika
You can do either an embedded slideshow or a link to the blog-like format. I'm partial to the link for school doings, since it shows activities over time.
- Bruce Lewis
The embedded slideshow looks like this: http://ourdoings.com/brlewis... Or you can embed Cooliris.
- Bruce Lewis
Wow. I couldn't find an embed link on my page. I'll have to look again. And thanks!

Behind the "Get Updates" link, then under the Slideshows tab. I admit I've let usability suffer for the sake of clean/uncluttered pages.

Google has a huge shuttle service to take employees to and from work. There are numerous transportation alternatives on campus. I wonder to what degree this part of the Google culture makes Google Maps less biased toward car travel.

But the local public transit system (VTA) sucks hard. One time I visited a friend on the Google campus, and I think I ended up walking because bus service was either nonexistent or practically so.

That makes sense. If local public transit were good, Google wouldn't create its own.
