Part of my Thanksgiving was spent in Tucson, Arizona. I took lots of photos. Here are three dozen from Biosphere 2.

Dear Friends,

I need your help. Six or seven or maybe even eight years ago the metal strip on my bathroom cabinet door started coming unglued from the door. The tiny metal strip stayed attached to the magnetized part of the cabinet and the door would rest in the wide open position. I swear to you there is nothing in my medicine cabinet that I'm trying to hide. Well, maybe you'll realize I have at least three razors in there but blades for none of them. I run the occasional facial hair update, though. How worried can I really be?

Back to the question at hand - for years I've applied two pieces of foamy double-sided tape. During the past ten months the lifespan for this solution has decreased. As you can see from the tape residue below, I once tried duct tape. No dice. Do I need a different brand of double-sided tape? Is there some sort of industrial grade glue solution? I need your help! Make this problem disappear. I want to walk into the bathroom and look at my face in the mirror.

I've posted a few photos below, to give you and idea of what I have to work with. Please post suggestions in the comments!

Thanks,
Your Pal Balgavy

Yesterday I enabled text messaging on my cell phone. I'm sure this is going to be huge. I expect this whole SMS-ability will change my life.

Way back in January I went a little overboard describing and posting pictures from the 2007 New Year's Day Board Game Party. Today I topped that. I just posted a GeekList to boardgamegeek.com.

NOTES FOR HOSTING A NEW YEAR'S DAY BOARD GAME PARTY

I did some serious internet searching last November and December for board game party ideas and couldn't really find that one source of great ideas. I hope this GeekList will encourage others to offer their ideas and make the 2008 party even better.

CHUCK and JOURNEYMAN are the two best new shows this TV season (not counting MAD MEN). Also, I don't ever want to read/hear/see anything else about BEE MOVIE. Ever.
