Anybody need parts from an old PC (vintage 2000/2001)? The powersupply is dead so we are going to get rid of it. The HD is already spoken for, but there is still other stuff in there that should work. Just let me know what you may want and I’ll go looking for it.

Cisco VPN Geek?
This is from my friends over at The Foundation, a local consulting group and an all around great bunch of folks:
The Foundation may be looking for someone who can install, configure and troubleshoot Cisco VPN routers. Do you know anyone who does this kind of thing and would be available occasionally? We currently work with one group exclusively and they are not as reliable as we would like, so we are looking for more options. It usually amounts to 3-8 hours per month.
If interested, please contact me via e-mail annd I will do the hookup.
Google Buys Sketch-Up
In more post-holiday shopping news, Google has aquired Sketch-Up…
I can’t even begin to figure out how this fits into thier model. I am starting to worry about them. Seems like the companies that do well are the one that focus on just a few things and work to be the best at that. I am no business expert. Maybe I am missing something here.

$33 Lightsaber
For the Star Wars fan in all of us: With 33 minutes, 33 bucks, and a trip to home depot, you can have your very own lightsaber. No kidding.
Found via Buzz Patrol, it comes from Instructables, a pretty cool site with many DIY projects like a Lego 3D Chocolate Printer and (my favorite) the Pinball Coffee Table. The LED Throwies are a neat idea too.
Minti
OK, so now you are all signed up to track everything about your Babyâ„¢. Now you need a place where you and other Babyâ„¢ owners can share what you have learned. Go sign up at Minti where you can share stories, swap ideas and get technical support from other Babyâ„¢ owners.
Trixie Tracker
OK, since Babysâ„¢ seem to be the new “must have” gadget for geeks these days, I know you are going to want to pimp yours out shortly after you get one. Sure, anyone can have cool covers for thier Baby or a custom dock, but wouldn’t it be cooler if you could have some sort of web app to track your Baby? Anylize the shuffle mode to make sure that the noise it is making really is random? Well with Trixie Tracker, now you can.
