When you distribute an Office document electronically, the document might contain information that you do not want to share publicly, such as information you’ve designated as “hidden” or information that allows you to collaborate on writing and editing the document with others.

I am not of the habit of typing things in documents that could cause any issues, but I will sleep more soundly (like I ever have a problem sleeping, thank God) knowing that no one else "hid" anything suspect in a Microsoft® Word™ document that I forward to a client.

386 to go.

Great Falls Park, a site that is part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, is an 800 acre park located along the Potomac River 14 miles upriver from Washington D.C. The park is known for two things, its scenic beauty at the head of Potomac River fall line and the historic Patowmack Canal.

Let me just say that the Ikea in College Park is abso-freakin' huge.

[ KooshMoose : Whodathunkit? ]

Mr. Moose, All Ikea's are huge. It is sort of a hallmark of the Ikea organization.

Kid's play area? What the heck?

[ KM ]

It may surprise you, but I have taken trips to Ikea without looking at any furniture or having any intent to purchase. For quite a few years Iman and I would travel to the Ikea so I could have a pastry and coffee for breakfast, she could have the 99¢ kids breakfast, and then she could play for the maximum time allowed.

If, like me, you had no idea of how bed spreads work these days, there's this "new" system where you buy a quilt and stuff it into a quilt cover. GENIUS!

You should head back up to the showroom and look for the couches that do the same thing. Mine is the Karlanda. I have the sofa and a "bench" (like the sofa but with no back or sides). Both of them have canvas covers that come off completely, just like the pillows, and all can be tossed in the laundry. No expensive upholstery cleaning, and it all fits in a standard machine, not even requiring a laundry mat's super size machine.

Real banana sauce, coffee Frappuccino base featuring the finest Latin American Coffees, coconut syrup, milk and ice. Topped with whip cream and toasted coconut flakes. Also availbe in light.

[ starbucks beverages ]

Also available in crappy flash. You'd think Starbucks® would be able to hire better flash guys (or gals...).

And, this season's Black Apron Exclusive™ is a coffee I recognise! Straight outta Toraja, near my wife's hometown, is the new Kopi Kampung (with much better flash, but could use a tweak or two).

Update: Got the Banana Coconut Frappuccino® Blended Coffee, and I think it's yummy!

Cone Pizza!
Originally uploaded by superlocal.

I'm not sure if pizza in a cone is strange, but what toppings! Hawaiian, Hot Spicy Chicken, Bulgogi, and something I can't read in the bottom right... Oh, and of course Supreme Cone!

I concocted a scheme where I would subscribe to flickr feeds with enclosures and use the folders that it creates to seed the Microsoft Power Toy Wallpaper Changer with those photos for a fun, constantly changing wallpaper. Clearly I spent too much time thinking about it, and not enough time searching for someone else's application that already does this for me:

John's Background Switcher periodically changes the background image on your computer (like every hour or every day).

[ John's Adventures: John's Background Switcher ]

Integrated right in the application is:

You can use Flickr (almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world) - you can choose to select pictures by person, tags, sets or just plain random and there are a host of options to narrow down the pictures and increase the quality of those chosen. You never know what you're going to get next!

I recommend the Flickr Group Domokun Lovers.
