Apparently most state’s DNRs can’t..

I decided it would be a great idea to go fishing this weekend.. I’m loosing my mind at work and just sitting on a dock drowning worms would be a welcome relief.. So I figured I should get a new license for 2007..

Apparently the new licenses aren’t good until April 1st.. And the 2006 license is good until March 31st.. That would be fine if I had any idea at all where last year’s license was.. So a quick call to DNR and sure enough, even with a 2007 license in my pocket, if I go fishing this weekend I’m breaking the law..

It’s not a huge deal, I can wait another week I suppose.. But the though of having to buy a 3 day license just to turn around the next weekend and have my ‘07 license kick in seems somehow stupid to me.. Oh well, I suppose it’s better to wait than risk them taking my truck from me

With the recent release of Windows Vista a whole new world of potential, preinstalled, customers has been opened up.. The Vista sidebar gadget is an easy to install program that resides on the desktop and provides some small service to the user.. In some cases it may be a small program, an RSS feed, even an interface to a useful tool..

We decided to give it a run ourselves and hired the guys over at Gadget Spark to create an RSS feed gadget that pulls our Tip of the Day wedding and jewelry tips from bangles and brides.. So far we have been very happy with the results.. Since it was uploaded at the microsoft gadget site 24 hours ago we’ve had it downloaded and installed right at 200 times.. And it is driving traffic.. Our jewelry forums have seen more guests than ever.. Now if we can just convince them to sign up and join the community.. .. ..
