2 Stroke Gas Powered Party Blender. Do. Want.
Any appliance that is banned in at least one state has my attention. If it takes gasoline and has a setting for puree, then done deal.

Nuevasync Beta Burp
I’ve noticed a significant increase in visits searching for info on Nuevasync in the last couple of days, so I thought I’d do a service to visitors and post a little update.
As of this writing (September 3, 2008) Nuevasync is apparently hosed. Hopefully temporarily. Read On.
According to the Nuevasync on September 2, 2008:
Service is Being Throttled Today
We have identified an issue with the sync service today that has been causing the server to bog down (and last night triggered a kernel crash too). At present we’re running the service in a throttled mode that reduces load on the machines so our engineers can investigate and fix the problem. Users may notice periods where their sync fails or is delayed. Do not re-sync, just wait and you should get sync eventually. Hopefully we can get the problem diagnosed and fixed soon.
Early this morning, the Nuevasync site was offline altogether. The blog sheds some light, and I assume that the David and Thomas are working feverishly to restore service. Try and remember that Nuevasync is in beta mode, and have patience. I warned readers in my previous post not to count on the service for mission critical applications yet. It seems that for the most part, Nuevasync’s beta population is understanding, supportive and is having patience. Commenters at the official Nuevasync blog have been demonstrating the best attitudes of end users I’ve seen in a while.
For the latest updates on Nuevasync status, keep an eye on the official blog!
Update @10:59 AM, 9/3/2008 - The Nuevasync site has been up and running again since I published this post, although the calendar service is still not syncing. To ease server load, I’m going to discontinue attempting to sync for the rest of the day.
