Checking a Site When You Think It May Be Down
Here is a useful link: Down for everyone or just me? When you go there, it will tell you if a site is down for everyone or just you. (via Download Squad)
Flower Garden
Spring Flowers, for those days when you need a little cheer. (Hold down the right mouse button and drag your mouse over the background.)
Easy, tiger.
The cutline theme came with a cute 404 page.
Cutline
For now, I have settled on using the Cutline Theme for my weblog, as I could not seem to get Mandigo to work for me since I moved hosts.
Plan B

Social Wallpapering has lots of variously sized wallpaper suitable for computer desktop backgrounds.
Yego Hub and USB Drive
This evening, we wandered by CompUsa and checked out whether there were any real bargains. They remain awfully proud of their stuff, including items that show damaged packaging. Banged up items in dubious packaging are still not priced where I would consider buying them considering the no returns policy. However, we did buy two of these yego flash drives. One of the drawbacks of thumb drives is that they tie up a port, so these mini-hubs not only don’t tie up a USB port, but make a second one available as well.
