For my friend Margaret:
1 - Download the latest HP Driver for you printer here >>> ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL32506/mp-80514-1/PS_AIO_07_D110_USW_Full_Mac_WW_11.dmg
2 - Run the installer & follow the prompts
That should get your printer online (wired, at least). The wireless feature may be very simple. It's usually a part of the Setup Wizard.

Flip4Mac and friends
Just a hint for those needing to play different video/audio formats on your Mac:
WMV & WMA components for Quicktime
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/windows-media-player/wmcomponents
Swiss army knife for most of the rest
http://perian.org/
VLC - Great player for any type of media file

Dumpster Diving
Over the long weekend I renewed my love of Pickin' -- Garbage Pickin'!!!
There's a long list of treasure, but I'm most excited about a new-to-me Logitech Harmony 1000 Remote -- sans battery:
The Remote
Any tips?

Cooking Tip of the Day
Divorced and Homeless Ramen
Ingredients:
Maruchan Chili-flavor (Spicy) Ramen (2 packets, because you’re hungry, very very hungry)
Creamy Peanut Butter (two big tablespoons worth)
Pour in some water (it doesn’t matter how much) into whatever size bowl you have is about 3/4 of the way full. Microwave this water until hot. It doesn’t have to boil necessarily, if you can’t wait long; just at least pretty hot. Take bowl out of microwave, place beside kitchen sink. Plop ramen into hot water bowl. Give it about 3 minutes.
Then, using your college degree for once in the “real world”, tip the bowl over the kitchen sink, just so, to drain off excess water while achieving a 90%+ ramen retention level. Drain until water level is at least less than half the height of the ramen. Drain more if you like the finish product more pasty than soupy.
At this moment, bust open the two hot chili-flavor packets onto the ramen. Then, using the fork, dig out a big wad of peanut butter (about two tablespoons but why measure) and use fork to stir peanut butter, chili-flavored-salt, remaining hot water, and ramen all together. Very soon the water/seasoning/peanut butter will have merged into a tasty, nutritious sauce, that’s darn good with those ramen noodles. Guaranteed to cheer you up for 10 minutes.
