Sites of the week: There’s this children’s book. Loved it. Read it until it fell apart. It’s the one about the girl, with the pet, and they go to this place, and then something happens. What the heck was it called. … Have you been in this bind? There is a solution. A website offered by a used book store allows frantic searchers to post a query about a children’s book for $2; the staff and loyal Internet customers help identify the title and author. Go to lo ganberrybooks.com/stump.html, and rest easier.
Watch this Web video: Introduce yourself to the world of extreme blending. The helpful folks at BlendTec have a sense of humor about their tough-as-nails food blender, and are getting huge hits on their home site and at YouTube for blending exhibitions you should definitely not try at home. Rake handles? Coke cans? Toss them in, give it a whirl. You can even offer your own suggestions willitblend.com; and by the way, the golf balls? They shred quite nicely.
