Update - he has them so captivated that when, halfway through "The Wheels on the Bus," he says "The Dads on the bus say *sit back down!*" every one of the horde of hyper children sit down on the nearest chair or floor space. This guy is good.

Curious...

[Update 2010-03-11 10:03 - Conspiracy theorists will love to believe Groupon got caught with their hand in the cookie jar (by accidentally purchasing too many votes? because I my tweets about the purchased origins of their votes showed up on their twitter-feed?). Others might think they decided that the purchased tweet-votes (purchased by someone else?) were a no-no. In any case, Groupon has removed Robert's video from their site after just a day or so of the 15,000+ votes in question being up (video link below changed to original posting on youtube)] I'm curious about this " Live Off Groupon " challenge. $100,000 to give up money for a year and live off of pre-paid vouchers. To skip to the intrigue part, scroll down to highly curious below. I spent quite a bit of time on my video submissions for the competition: Introducing myself to Groupon A conversation with a local business Judging by the winning finalists, I didn't show off my zany side enough. Oh well...

Update (Friday, 16 August, 2013): I'm leaving Yantalo this afternoon, so I won't be able to personally steward any more donations here.  However!  Your donations have already funded a gas s tove is well covered (yay, no more smoke inhalation or sooty clothing/walls!), as well as a potable-water container (oh yeah, I forgot to mention she tends to boil and drink the yellowish water from the tap... I'm not sure what makes it yellow), as well as enough money to refill each of those a few times.  The remaining $100ish (edit $150!) will stay here in the Luz Dina roof fund, from which money could be drawn for any other emergencies she may encounter.  Another volunteer plans to run another fund-raiser, and I'll publicize this one even more once we secure someone who actually wants to do the work of installing a new roof, and have figured out how much it will cost.   In the meantime, I'm sure the patches helped a fair amount with the leaks, and the rainy season isn'...

hidden files in Vista

-
I just helped someone toggle the "view hidden files" setting in Vista, in a user folder. Here are some steps... First try going to your user folder, right-clicking, and click "Customize This Folder" Nope, you're not allowed to. OK, remember from prior Windowses that your user folder is actually in a different location. Documents and Settings... no, they've moved it to "Users" Now "Customize This Folder" works, but the old View tab isn't there, so there is no "View Hidden Files" option isn't available. Click on the "Tools" Menu. WTF? Where is the tools menu? What did they do with the tools menu? Does Alt+T even work any more? Oh, sweet lord it does. I bet they don't take that out until Windows 7. Upon tapping alt, the "Tools" menu appears, where you can click "Folder Options," and get to the good old "View" tab where you can choose to see your damn hidden files. It's...
