Flash Bracelet

The bracelet shown to the left is actually a flash USB drive styled as a rather attractive bracelet. Here is some information about the wristband:

Imation Flash Wristband

"As convenient as the small sizes of today's flash drives are, they also carry with them the problem of easily being lost. Fortunately, Imation has come up with a surprisingly not-too-bad-looking solution, the Flash Wristband. The drive features 256MB of memory, and a simple design that allows the ends of the band to plug into one another."

I haven't yet bought a flash drive, though I have been thinking about it. I like this design, and I love wearing bracelets, so perhaps I will wait to buy until the price for this is announced.

Yahoo Web Crawler on My Library Blog

I got a big surprise as I was checking my Site Meter stats for my blogs tonight. The Yahoo web crawler spent over seven hours on my library blog, LibrarySupportStaffJobs. I saw a reference to Hot Jobs in the information on Site Meter, so I think my job postings are going to appear on Hot Jobs. I haven't yet had time to look at Hot Jobs, as I am too tired tonight.

I had no idea a web crawler moved so slowly. Seven hours on one blog? It must have sucked up every bit of information on my blog!! Life on the web is strange, indeed, and it occasionally offers up whopping big surprises like this.
