In addition to what Jay said, ebay and craigslist can both be good resources for used bikes. Once you know what fits you, definitely look at the used market - I picked up a full carbon fiber Specialized Epic Allez for $600. My MTB has seen very limited action since I've gotten my road bike...

In the $50-$60 range you should be able to pick up a bottle of Balvenie 15yr old. The 15yr old is single cask - i.e. all the scotch in that bottle came from one particular cask. Says what cask # and what bottle out of that cask it is. And a damn fine scotch to boot!

If you're primarily looking for text messaging, I would recommend staying away from sprint pcs. I'm on that and absolutely hate the text messaging system. You have to use their slow wireless web to log into a webpage and send / receive text messages that way.

If you've never changed your trasmission fluid, that would be high up on the list as well.

I've heard many good things about the Etymotics, though I couldn't get myself to spend that much $$ on a set of headphones. I went and bought some Sony closed design earphones - they seal against your ear canal and block outside sound. MDR-EX70LP though it's since been updated, sony site shows...

Ad-aware is another spyware removal tool, we've used it here in the office with much success: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ Andrej

Weatherdudes were spot on here in DC. Snow overnight, 3-4", changing to rain by morning, tapering off by noon. Exactly what happened. Andrej

We went hiking by the Potomac here in DC today, river is crazy high. 11 or 12 ft higher than normal, large parts of the trail by the river were completely flooded out. Made for some mud bog hiking! More snow coming tonight, though they claim it's supposed to turn into rain by the morning. We'll...

National Zoo here in DC has Pandacams as well: http://natzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantPandas/default.cfm

*Added Bonus* Road construction crews don't work and don't block off lanes on the highway. Sweet!

FWIW, my RV-31 just ran into similar problems today while playing The Two Towers extended edition. Grrr. Finally got it open by pressing the Open button and giving the player a good hard knock. Interrupted once more before the 1st disc was over. The unit is 2+ years old, so at this point it's...

Ice or hard-pack snow. On pavement they're just loud and bad performing. I wouldn't put them on your car, but on a beater bike, I'd say it would be a fun and inexpensive experiment! Andrej

I've used duct tape on my cycling shoes to keep my toes from freezing when riding in the wintertime. Andrej

Nope, just different trim levels.

I have a Kodak digital camera that comes with a docking station. Transfering photos is fairly simple. The docking station stays plugged in to one of the USB ports all the time. Simply put the camera on the docking station, press the big (and only) button on the docking station, and you're...
