Apparently, Maryland has an online firearms safety training program for potential law enforcement recruits. I'm still going to take the in-person course, though.

Plainview

Plainview, a full-screen web browser, with a tiny footprint. Helpful for designers like me. Very nice.

Airstream Dreams

I know there's a financial crisis brewing, and money is best left liquid, so is it wrong of me to see this 1968 Airstream Landyacht for $3K and immediately want to go buy it? Not that I have anyplace to put it.

Steam Radiator Tips.

It got down to 63° last night, so we cranked up the furnace this morning to warm the house. I've been meaning to gather a list of links on caring for steam heating systems. In no particular order: Bleeding, shimming, gurgling and clangs, Steam radiator tips, and troubleshooting a steam distribution system.
