I don't know if it's worthwhile to reupholster, but I've heard that Marcoux Upholstery in Leominster is very good. An ex's family had some pieces done there and I've talked to Mr. Marcoux about some things I wanted done -- seemed extremely knowledgable.

These chicklets are for social bookmarking: On del.icio.us, for instance, you can create an account and save bookmarks there. Each bookmark you add can be tagged with some word that describes it. I have a link to Terrior Coffee Company, for instance, tagged with "food", "coffee", "Action" (the town it's in), etc. Other people tag their links, too.

The linking/tagging, in itself, isn't too exciting. The exciting part is the sharing: Users can pull up lists of links tagged "coffee" and see coffee links other people thought were interesting (the list will include my own example above, of course.) If you sort by the number of times someone linked to a page, you can see pages the bulk of users thought were really good; a lot of folks bookmarked them, after all.

It's a way to share info on what you think is interesting. The new chicklets will let users add their bookmarks more easily (and possibly generate more traffic for AT -- a very good thing.)

Yes, the patterns are gorgeous, but beware: If you go to this site your browser is going to be resized and you'll lose the cursor when you go to type into text fields again (like this one). What a pain in the ass: Plenty of sites produce nice-looking pages without having to take over your desktop.

There's a restaurant in my old neighborhood that had these on the tables. I went there for years and didn't realize for a long time that they weren't real, oxygen-required, something's burning candles. Very convincing. If I liked candles more, maybe I'd consider some myself.
