Brilliant idea I wish I'd thought of: today a coworker and I retrieved some heavy boxes. After putting her box in her trunk, she pulled out a "corner" -- two foot-long 1x4s joined edgewise at a 90-degree angle, covered in cloth and with long outside edges covered in velcro -- and stuck it onto the carpettted floor next to the box. Voila: no box sliding around the back of the car while driving home! Her sweetie made it for her.
I said before that I think it would be a mistake for West Wing to continue past the Bartlet administration. I still think they should end the show, but if they do continue it, based on what we've seen so far I would keep watching a show with Alan Alda's character as president. He hasn't lost his edge in the many years since I saw him in something new, and so far he's being written well. It probably helps that what we've seen of his politics matches me reasonably well. :-)
This rant isn't
productive (in fact, it might be counter-productive),
but it sure is funny (so long as you don't mind coarse
language). Link from buoren.

Basically, I have no idea how to do some of the neat crochet patterns I see on a lot of kippot. I also don't know how to read patterns.
For example, I'd love to make this for my son: http://www.barney.gonzaga.edu/~aburton/froghack.html but I can't quite figure it out.
