That first doggie-bag/puppypurse at epotpourri gave me a laugh -- Sally would be rolling over in her grave, n'est-ce pas (is that why you expressed a shriek??)

Which timepiece did you like best, HD?? I have a yen for the green/black hourglass one -- "does anybody really know what time it is, does anybody really care".....

re

just at the idea of it ..
i didn't hang about the site to note who Sally is or was ..
haven't yet explored the time -pieces ..
( 'scrapyard challenge' is currently on the tele )

~ you mean 'Sally' as in 'early canine companion' ? ~ i didn't note a Sally at the site .. i just skimmed thru the place ..

Scrapyard Challenge??

Scrapheap Challenge is an engineering game show produced by RDF Media and broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK. In the show, teams of contestants have 10 hours, in which to build a working machine that can do a specific task, using materials available in a scrapheap.

The Beebs certainly has a smashing assortment of viewing fare

Hmmm, cool link from that darkroastedblend site -- Abstract Satellite Images of Earth..... might be fun to go to NASA's site and grab some images to enhance in PS7, like these:

Aleutian clouds ~

Bahamas sands ~

Ganges River delta ~

Iran ~

I wonder if anyone could ever guess that blues, greens and purples are my favorite colors

As for the doggie-bags, I think I like this Scottish Terrier best

But the BDSM dachsie ("Slick") is pretty cool too

As for the Hi-Tech pages, I wouldn't mind having one of these to get to work.....

Thanks for the link Happy Dragon,

I'm eyeing the first link with laptop:

The Maingear Prepping eX-L Centrino 2 Gaming Notebook [First eX-L Core 2 Extreme X9100 Details Emerge]

Looks good, and its overclocked so it faster then the factory specs, but I'm wondering if it will last as long because its overclocked and if its as fast a quad core mobile laptop when it comes out.
