No Hablo Espanol
Any recommendations for tools to teach one's daughter more Spanish? My vocabulary is rusty, though I've been told that my pronunciation is good.

The You RI
Rick Klau notes that John Robb site at UserLand left immediately after John himself did. There is an object lesson in this:
Final lesson from this situation: never, ever blog at a domain that’s not owned by you. Don’t blog on your employer’s site, don’t blog on your blogging application’s site — make sure your blog lives (and stays!) on your own domain.
The things of this world are short-lived, die and rot. But be prudent and plan to take your stuff with you when you go. Technically that means use an e-mail address where both sides of the @ are yours. When you use someone else's site, whether pages.prodigy.net or radio.weblogs.com, you're renting. Eventually, you'll want to move out of your parents' house and stake a claim of your own.

Loop Exit Left
Last week I turned off my news aggregator in order to try a new one. That SharpReader has some sweet features, like threading, but I can't scan the headlines as fast. Scan, save some, delete most is what I do. None that I've tried have done the last two tasks well, but scanning quickly is essential. It's been an hour and I'm almost caught up.
