Three Quick Ways to Inhance Your Flickr Experience

Three Quick Ways to Inhance Your Flickr Experience
Originally uploaded by Ivan Makarov

I find this via: a friendfeed feed: haven't tried them yet or could vouch them yet, sounds neat or interesting.
Flexplore - this tool analyzes your (or any other Flickr account) collection of favorites and suggests similar looking pictures you may like. It worked pretty spot on for me, and I no longer have to look through pages after pages of flowers to find a good seascape or a B&W image. Try it for yourself.

Slickr - this program is a screensaver for your PC that displays all your favorite Flickr pictures in the large format when your computer is in a screensaver mode. If you're on Mac, FlickrFan does pretty much the same thing (I use both, since I work on a PC during the day while I use Mac for my photography). I now can kick back and enjoy a high quality sideshows of pictures that I found interesting on Flickr. I've also recently realized that I don't 'favorite' enough of pictures. Over 2.5 years on Flickr I accumulated just 2,000 of favs. Thomas Hawk told me recently that he 'faved' over 60,000 of pictures. Now that's an impressive collection of photography to look through.

Photophlow - this is pretty much a chat room, but with a Flickr twist to it. If you have a community of contacts on Flickr, it's a fun way to extend the conversation and bring pictures into the mix.

I heard a piece on NPR about a business called Sarah's Smash Shack in San Diego. You can actually rent a "break" room, completewith safety goggles, wires for your MP3 player and plenty of dishesto smash, in order to vent your pent up rage!

I am pretty conflicted about punching bags already.  Though there are also other ways to vent your bad moods.  I read the blog and some of the comments.  Keeping your anger within isn't healthy.  Anger is a complex emotion that could not simply be just-- "smash your problems away".

Got a fridge full of food but not sure what's still edible and what you'd regret an hour after eating? Web site StillTasty saves money with useful advice on your foods' shelf-life and best storage practices.

ah, good for all of us who hordes their food in the fridge or shelves for too long. Site is in the US, but still good info to take a look.

Science Says: Shampooing Every Time You Shower? It May Be Too Much

Science Says: Shampooing Every Time You Shower? It May Be Too Much

Shampooing every day isn't only wasteful, it can also harm your hair, according to NPR. Back in the olden days, when waterfalls passed for high-pressure showers, people would shampoo only once a month. That wasn't enough, but if you shampoo more than three times a week, you're actually making your hair oilier because your glands need to work overtime to replace the natural oils you're washing away.

My poor hair would feel rough and dry if I shampoo it everyday anyways.  Here is some collection of shampoo products that I can show here:

Excuses: Is The Patriot Act Stopping Gateway From Fixing Your Laptop?

How to deal with a lemon-- from Consumerist- (Consumer Report) Redwoodflyer is stuck in an unenviable position. Tiger Direct isn't known for satisfying their customers, and Gateway is now owned by Acer. You can try launching an EECB to Acer's "Pan America Executive Team" using the format firstname_lastnameatacer.com.

The comments are really worth a while to read when your technology is a lemon.  I spoke to a person who did work with a certain (major) technology company a while ago and it does require you to nag and obtain media attention to get what you need for your repairs and your satisfaction that you might need, but hopefully as a last resort. 
No more lemons.

World Water Day Video from charity: water
I have seen a lot of water bottles, but not this way they advertise from World Water Day from: charity- water. 
Other information about water:    "I've seen this around, and I even met the entrepreneur behind it
    , a nice guy, and I still can't quite wrap my brain around it:
    tap water -- bottled and sold"
