Bargain: 1 GB SD card for 15 bucks

Kodak has Select Accessories on Sale for $15 and there are a couple of real deals to be found. In particular, the Kodak SD 1 GB Card that regularly retails for $49.95. Nice deal. Also some Li-Ion batteries and whatnot, and the Gorillapod, which is a great digital camera tripod.

Quiz: Machine translation or Faulkner?

Apparently, I know my contemporary art better than I know literature. Machine translation or Faulkner? provides several quotations; some are Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner's prose, the rest are Babelfish translations of German text.

I scored, um, 33%.

Quiz: Donald Judd, or Cheap Furniture?

Can you tell fine art from Wal-Mart? Donald Judd, or Cheap Furniture? is a quiz that asks you to look at a picture of a piece of furniture and decide whether the item shown is a "priceless" "exquisite" work of art by sculptor Donald Judd, or furniture from Wal-Mart.

I scored 75%, but that was mostly just luck.
