Have you ever tried to have a conversation, or even tried to say something profound using oversized magnetic letters you outgrew in 3rd grade? (or 8th grade in my case). Well now you can. Introducing yet another refrigerator, this time covered with pre-school letters!

If no letters are moved for 10 minutes, it scatters the letters randomly. This is to prevent the more naughty words from lingering too long. I may adjust this in the future.

And dont forget the original FridgePoet and Shakespear Fridge Poet

I just got back from a virtual trip to the Geek Mecca where I bought a new 250gb SATA HD to mate with my hopefully soon to be replaced in warranty 250gb SATA HD, to provide constant, and hassle free backup (Off-site DVD backups still required). Thanks to "mccrawdaddy" for helping to push me into making this move I had been contemplating.

2 Interesting things. Newegg.com's price for the drive is only $10 more than tigerdirect's price for the same drive [REFURBISHED], their shipping is less, and no sales tax, making it a complete wash... Or so I thought.

As I was checking out, I was offered a magazine subscription. rolls eyes I expected it to be a "receive 3 months free, then continue receiving the magazine for our inflated annual rate" offer. Instead it was a "Receive a Full year of pc magazine" and a note, that If I don't want to receive PC Magazine (a $19.95 value) for free I am entitled to a refund of the subscription price.

*blink* Huh? I must have read that wrong. So I click on the Info button and it says the auditing body that over sees magazine subscriptions require publishers to offer a refund of the full subscription price if people choose not to take advantage of the free offer. I click on the refund form and it is simply an address for Ziff Davis, and a space to enter name and address. I do have to include a self addressed envelope, but I figure the 97 cents (60 cents out going, and 37 cent SASE) is worth seeing if this is legit or not.

I googled for this type of offer and found many hits, but I haven't found anyone who's commented on it working or not. Does anyone have any experience with it? is there something I'm missing (I hope not, I consider myself to be reasonably clever).
