Useless Nexus

Autoposting and cross posting. When is it too much?

I haven’t tried Posterous.com in over a year. But some friends have
been using it lately and Leo Laporte has been planning to use it for
his trip to China this month. So I thought I’d give it another try.
This will be my second test tonight. And my last tonight. Quite
possibly, you will get a double post of this when the streams that are
Posterous and my Ping.fm setup cross. If we are lucky, only a large
marshmallow will be destroyed.
 
Thanks for bearing with me. Good night!

Maine at Gettysburg on Google Books

I was checking out Google Books tonight. There is a ton of valuable interesting stuff! Including, “Maine at Gettysburg“. “Maine at Gettysburg” is the definitive single volume reference of the many and great contributions that men from The State of Maine made at the Battle of Gettysburg in July of 1863.

There are many other great historical pieces on Google Books. The nice thing is that it’s search able and easy to bookmark and share.

I need to explore the stacks at Google more!

Hack a Cupcake

This might be an old trick to some but I just saw it for the first time today. Thank you Grace!

1. Take a cupcake
2. Remove the paper
3. Break off the bottom of the cupcake
4. Press the bottom onto the top of the frosting to make a sandwich.

Voila! Much easier to eat and stay clean. It’s genius!

Kind of like a Whoopie Pie really. Why didn’t Grace show me this years ago?
