*WARNING - Contains Country Music* In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago.

The house here currently has a mix of OSs - XP, Vista, Win7 and OSX. The problem is, all my music and video files are on my XP box, and the HUUUUGE LCD screen we watch stuff on is on a Vista machine. File-sharing between the two is painful on a good day. On a bad day? Sneaker-net with USB SATA drives. So I think I might have to build a file-server. Stick Win7 on it (which seems to play nicely with...

LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg QuarryGirl.com sent undercover agents to many of LA's vegan restaurants and ordered take-out food, spiriting it away on ice in sealed bags, then they conducted their own tests for trace amounts of animal products.
