Kewl hardware tip and search function

Here's a solution for those that have overheating problems. It's a dime bracket that is utilized to attach a fan to a hard drive. Check it out over at Cheapbooks. Thanks goes out to CowboyNeal at Slashdot for finding this neat hardware utility. Bet this can be located on other devices with minor modification. David Tiberio came up with this neat idea and has given us a nice page with pictures and instructions. Very inventive and inexpensive.

Beagle and Mudslingr stopped by for a few minutes today and Beagle wowed me with the Local search function in Google. Had never tried it and she said she uses it all the time. Now I see why. What a handy tool to locate stuff in one's own backyard. Just type in something local that you are seeking (address, business, sports arena, school, etc.) and the town and state where it is located. It is pretty darn thorough. Looked up a business in Belmont that has an office in Boonevile and Google Local found both! Neat tool. Thanks Beagle!
