A Place To Put Your Notebook
Notebook computers are the essence of a mobile office, but they don't amount to much when you set them on your desk. A tiny screen, an equally diminutive keyboard, and a lack of peripherals make these wonders of portability seem mundane when standing still.
That's where docking stations come in. With the flip of a switch, these devices can transform your miniature notebook into a full-sized desktop computer.
"A docking station is an interface for a notebook to different peripherals," says Steve Gonzales, senior product manager for Docking Solutions at Texas Instruments.
The first docking stations started out as little more than extra connection ports for notebook computers. Now, they are used for everything from hooking up several gigabyte hard drives to surfing the World Wide Web. Some of the newer models sport the latest in Internet connectivity and have multimedia sound cards and speakers already built into the
cheap laptop docking stations.
"Some peripherals are integrated into the different docking stations; others are accessible through interfaces provided by the docking stations," Gonzales says.
Silver Jewelry Wholesale
Silver jewelry can be a good source of income for those business-minded people who want to sell such items. Nowadays, a lot of people are into silver because its color works well with a variety of clothing. Silver jewelry is a common alternative to gold. Moreover, some people prefer silver over gold jewelry because it goes well with certain skin tones and fabric colors. Because of this, the number of silver jewelry businesses also continues to rise in order to cater to demand.
So, if you are into the silver jewelry business or are just starting to put up your own boutique that sells fine silver jewelry, you can always find the best deals if you buy your silver items wholesale.

I was never much of a bird hunter -- and it's been over 20 years since the last time I went pheasant hunting -- but Cheney's claim that he was nearly 30 yards away from Whittington when he shot him in the face didn't make much sense to me, and it apparently doesn't make much sense to the experts either:
Veteran hunters and shooting experts said Thursday that they still did not understand how the vice president injured his fellow hunting partner so badly if he was actually 30 yards away as Cheney says.
"It just doesn't add up," said John Kelly, a quail hunter from New York with more than 36 years of experience. "With a shotgun, the pellets spread out the further you get, and for that many pellets to hit such a small part of this man's body means Mr. Cheney was far closer" than the 27-meter distance cited.Cheney is finding out the hard way why it is important to (1) immediately come clean on something like this, and (2) tell the truth when you do so. Of course, I guess it is possible that Cheney got it wrong because he was drunk (as AmericaBlog asks, "What did Cheney drink and when did he drink it?"), and it certainly doesn't help that his so-called eyewitness was actually so far away from the incident that she thought Cheney was having a heart attack.
As I walked up the street the sound of cicadas was overwhelming, even through the noise of my earphones. There's a late summer smell of fennel in the air, spicy and too sweet to live.
I think I'll miss summer, although I spied a paid of cherry red boots in a shop window today that made me look forward to winter. I think I'll buy them and wear them with a tweed coat with a cinched-in waist and a chocolate-coloured cheesecutter hat. My hair should be long enough for that this winter.
One of the things I'm most curious about when it comes to blogging is how did my scant readership come to find me? The "next blog" button perhaps? A blog search for key words that turned up my site as a result? However you found me, thanks for sticking with me. I blog for myself, indeed, but I'm sure not gonna lie and say that it wouldn't matter if no one ever dropped by here. I mean, what's the point in blogging if you don't want people to read what you write? I'd just keep a journal if that were the case.
Of course, it also makes sense because I'm a writer. It's what I do. Well, mostly. I'll pretty much do anything that anyone will pay me for. I just won't sell my morality. Then again, I'm not getting paid to tell you my innermost fucking feelings.(Freeway anyone?) Okay, maybe they're not my innermost.
I would have to say my proudest blogging personal achievement are the titles to my entries. I just took a nostalgic stroll back through my blog, and I've come up with some pretty clever headlines. I'm still beaming from "Gag Me With A Celebrity Fetus" a few days ago. That was a good one. I mean, if you can't make yourself laugh, then how can you ever expect to make anybody else laugh? The same goes for crying: If you can't make yourself cry, then how can you ever expect to make anyone else cry?
Oh, and in case anybody cares, here are some of the blogs I keep up with:
