(Feel free to chime in.) Today I am pondering:

Hrmmm I wonder if I signed up for that and forgot. I must check. Thanks for mentioning it. :)

What do you use Google Notebook for? Might be easier to tell you a good alternative for the task you're doing, rather than the software you're using.
- The Letter M
Basically using it as a place to put my writing away from home. I write in there when I am at work, instead of writing on Word at work and emailing it home.

Google Docs?
- Laura Lou Who
I thought about that, but I honestly am not too fond of Google Docs. Maybe I need to mess with it more, but I am just not fond of the way it is layed out. Yes, I know... I spoke ill of the big G please don't stone me :)
- aden
i've just been using google docs
- Imabug
I used Buzzword for that, and found it to be a much nicer environment than google docs (which I have to admit, I hate. *hate*). Though that appears to not be free anymore. Zoho was okay, still better than Gdocs. What I've been doing lately, though, is using a desktop writing program, and saving the files to a dropbox folder.

As I've written before, I have a loathing for Holy Grail because of people who quote it tirelessly. Same thing with The Princess Bride, a movie I used to adore. THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS
- Akiva Moskovitz
See, now you're just asking for a fight when you say a certain Monty Python movies is "the best". Life of Brian was the best, IMO.

Jason, anyone who trusts IMDb ratings cannot be trusted.

Monty Python has achieved a state of comedic perfection, becoming a troupe of pure comedic light, meaning there is no "best" or "worst." But if there were a best (and there isn't), it would be Life of Brian.

I was 13 when I took my parents to The Meaning of Life. I saw a piece on the musical sequences on Nimoy's 'Lights, Camera, Action' on Nickelodeon and it looked awesome. His show DID NOT play the audio of that particular sequence, which was 'Every Sperm is Sacred' and I pooh-poohed my parents when they questioned why the movie was rated 'R', and I've never been so uncomfortable as when my 13-year-old self was sitting with my parents watching this movie. My mom walked out.

Holy Grail is by far the best Monty Python movie...To even suggest otherwise smacks of shear lunacy, the heights have which only heretofore been plumbed in Arkham Asylum's darkest corners! The audacity to simply conceive of another reality is shocking and should be compared to utter heresy! Nay, sir...IT IS YOU WHO IS WRONG!

Oh wow. Usually my Birth Serene stuff gets ignored. I was surprised to see my icon pop up here with actual likes! :)
- Rochelle
I think I love reading stories like this just as much as I'm annoyed by stories like this. I'm glad everything worked out, but nobody should be bullied by their/a doctor.
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
Exactly.
- Rochelle
I'm glad she ended up with the birth experience she wanted. I don't agree, however, that "un"-natural childbirth and/or intervention necessarily interferes with your ability to bond with your baby.
- Mellissa Claus
Mellissa, it can hormonally. An epidural, for example, inhibits the production of beta-endorphins which are necessary for the maternal brain to create feelings and pathways of bonding in the early moments. Opiate painkillers have the same effect. http://www.sarahjbuckley.com/article... and http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...
- Rochelle
True, but I don't think it's absolute. Many women who have epidurals and opiates have no trouble bonding with their babies. Regardless - I think Dr Pitocin-Pusher was an ass!
- Mellissa Claus
I don't think it's really something that can be measured. Someone may feel they bonded fine, but how do you measure that other than the woman saying "sure, I'm bonded" or "no, I don't really feel a bond"? I believe that hormones can play a part but a feeling can't really be put on an objective scale.
- Rochelle
True again :o)
- Mellissa Claus
This is why we've hired a doula. We'll be at a hospital, and our OB is on board with our plan, but we're a little concerned about what would happen if our OB happens to be unavailable. A good coach, and patient advocate could have helped in this situation.

phil baumann, Rochelle, Alix Whitmire and RAPatton liked this
I'm almost sure 2PM will be the AeroGarden.
- Rochelle
Ah, probably. I just want a way to care for the plants I already have when I bring them inside or whatever I have to do to save them. I bet 8pm will be the Gone with the Wind blu-ray boxset or something that I just spent way too much on.
- joey
I can't figure out the 3PM clue. Or 5PM.
- Rochelle
Neither can I.
- joey
Liberty City is where the latest Grand Theft Auto games take place. 5pm may not be a great hour for the Gold Box.
- The Letter M
For 3pm, my out there guess is the Backtracks Box Set from AC/DC.
- The Letter M
Yeah, I got the GTA one (and we already have that game). That is a good guess for 3pm!

No, the dogs had started barking before the karaoke started. Like a good 2 hours before. Thankfully, they all shut up by 9pm. I won't have to deal with the karaoke again until Christmas break starts.

"A heterosexual couple have been refused permission to register for a civil partnership.

They plan legal action after their application was denied at Islington Register Office, north London."
- Charlotte M
from Bookmarklet
We can't have just everyone going off and having civil ceremonies, that would just make all the same-sex civil unions less, well... civil.
- Kenton
I'm confused though - what is the difference between getting married at the town hall and getting a civil union, precisely?
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
guess i am not the only confused one :)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I wouldn't be surprised if the difference was nothing more than a checkbox or something. Doesn't sound, from the article at least, that there is much of a difference.
- pea
My guess would be religious implications.
- The Letter M
No religious implications if you just get married at the Register Office, is there? I was wondering legally or tax wise? Cause if there is no difference, why not let them call it a Partnership instead of a Marriage, I mean? Exactly because of the religious fluff added to the image of the term Marriage whether you want it or not. (I often use the term "my partner" and I say I am a Ms - mostly because of the antifeminist implications of much of traditional marriage)

Ben got one of these last year (on a recommendation/treatment plan from a specialist) to try to treat his insomnia (didn't really help). I'm trying to use it now to give myself more energy since I've been so seriously dragging lately.

I guess it's all relative. When I looked (in the late 90's), the options presented to me were rentals, with purchase price being several thousand dollars. Not to mention they looked like small tanning beds. Still, not sure that I'd buy without trying. Most of the other insomnia stuff I've tried has been... less than useful. Keep us posted on how this works for you.
- The Letter M
Definitely better than several thousand dollars, for sure. It wasn't the magic cure for Ben's insomnia (he hasn't found anything that really has helped consistently) but he did find it helpful and we've kept it around. This may be crazy but I've been using it yesterday and today to combat the dark skies outside and try to get some energy and I'm feeling better today than I've felt over...

The graphics on the PS3 will out-perform those on XBox only if the game has been optimised for the PS3 hardware – which is usually not the case when it's released on both platforms at once. Also, the XBox Live online community is larger than the Playstation's so for multiplayer games you might want it on XBox as well. I say all this as a Sony fanboy, but I'm realistic.

- Wade Dorrell
Ah OK, would be interesting which is better. I believe it's the PS3 Slim.
- Kol Tregaskes
Multiplayer games: Xbox. Anything else, usually the PS3. I'm still a fan of the PS style controllers, but online multiplayer is so much better on the Xbox. (And yes, totaled up, my Xbox was about $150 more expensive than my PS3, and it still doesn't do Blu-ray.)

Anyone have experience with Xbox vs PS3 wireless controllers? Does one work better than the other for different room play. E.g. your game box is in a central closet, and you play the games from different rooms. Also, is it even possible to use a Wii from different rooms?
- Cristo
Wii
- sofarsoShawn
Chris, if you had to make a guess, Xbox controllers use RF and PS3 uses bluetooth. I'm not sure which reaches further or through certain objects better. Wii controllers also use bluetooth.
- Rodfather
Rodfather, I think the problem with the Wii is they have wired receivers they want mounted directly above or below your TV. Problems are 1) You wouldn't want to have to put that special purpose cable in the wall to different rooms. 2) You only have one plug into the Wii for the remote receiver, so you'd need a multi-plug to single plug adaptor, which seems unlikely to exist. 3) I'm not aware of any general purpose bluetooth repeaters/converters that could be used with the Wii receiver.
- Cristo
Since the Xbox controller is RF, it doesn't care about where you are, as long as you are within range. (About 30 feet is what I've read). Of course, this might change with Project Natal. I don't have any experience with PS3, so other than it using Bluetooth, I don't know if there are any other restrictions.
- Cristo
PS3, only 3% breakdown rate. Atleast you don't get the Ring of Deaths, I got tired of getting my 360 replaced until I got my loved PS3. Now I can play Modern Warfare without any pain.
- Faraz Mullick
The sensor bar can be hacked to be battery powered. All that's in there is a few IR LED's to help the Wii controller. You can even use a pair of candles to simulate the same effect of the sensor bar. As for #3, well, if it's too far, then you're screwed anyway.

For games made before 6 months ago? XBox only because of Live, for every single game going forward from that point? PS3. It's just many more times the box.

If I want to play crappy games with other people, I can use the MSN Hearts Network. Good games > than getting to scream "PWN N00B UBER l33t HAX PR0N WTG FTW ROXORZ BOXORZ OMG HAX" over a headset

Enjoy your PS3 where you can play crappy games by yourself. I have rarely had a bad experience playing on line on the 360 and I have ZERO complaints about the graphics quality of the games either.

I don't have a PS3, only long for one. Lame XBox regret is my name. I knew the PS3 had the longer productive life, but I let my friends convince me...... Lesson: Be your own man!

I usually get the PS3 version unless I know it's something my RL friends will be playing online. Like CoD or Halo.

Matthew, they both have the same product life. The PS3 isn't sufficiently advanced to give it much more life vs the 360 and the 360's service offerings make it much more desirable from a consumer standpoint. The only reason why the PS3 is in the game at all is because of Microsoft's poor design choices that gave it the legendarily bad reliability.

You provide specs of completely dissimilar processor units to prove a point? Guess what, not going to work. Never mind that the cell is notoriously difficult to work with, never mind that Microsoft has built some of the best development tools available for the 360, because both of those things aren't on your spec sheet. And never mind that game performance on games like Borderlands is...

Oh and let's forget that Microsoft is constantly developing for the 360, while Sony can't even get a proper Netflix app built for the PS3. Yeah, let's forget all the facts and just give the victory to Sony, a company that can't even build a $3k TV that lasts 3 years.

When the game is new, I don't see the problem with finding other people to play with on the PSN. MW2? No problem. The smaller population on PSN becomes a problem when you want to play something 6-12 months after it came out. So you have to decide whether that's worth $49.99/year to you.

You want further proof of the dominance of the 360 community? http://raptr.com/ None of the top 10 most played games are PS3 versions. Microsoft built up a service that people love and refuse to leave even after 5, 6, 7 failures. The attach rate of the 360 is much higher than on the PS3. Developers know that they have eyeballs on the 360 and that's where they are putting the bulk of...

Lord Super Chrome On the first shave, there were no tugs at all, and the sharpness was such that I thought I hadn't actually touched the blade to my face. And yet, no hair left. Very, very close shave. Left me with a bit of irritation on the neck and just under my chin. The second shave tugged just ... Posted via email from Marty's Posterous

Huh. I guess, since I got married in Texas after the ban was enacted, that I'm still single. My wife will be surprised. Excuse me, my live-in domestic partner.

One of the anti-gay amendments they tried to pass here in Arizona attempted to eliminate all visitation, etc privileges for unmarried hetero couples as well. Damned moralists.
