Can anyone recommend mac software for someone who has absolutely no experience at beat matching etc, to 'DJ' a party. By DJ i mean play music without horrible gaps and ridiculous tempo changes, and to do so in a spontaneous way (choosing songs on the spur).

Fake and edible indoor plants? For my Kittys...
Does anyone even make such a thing? If not, what could I make it out of??
Or if anyone knows of any tough non-toxic indoor plants that will cope with feasting, possibly air con and shitty light but definitely the feasting! What would you recommend?
(A roster/tag team basis would be perfectly understandable and acceptable...)

I came across these images of Annie Stoner while searching Flickr's iphone wallpaper group. People seem to rave about her body but to me it looks absurdly fake. A cut and paste job for sure.
Here's her home page. and another example of what I'm talking about.
Am I wrong about this? Have I gone insane? Am I so old that I don't know a real woman when I see one? Help me make the world go the right way.

I posted some items for sale on Craigslist, and shortly thereafter I got email from a typical scammer who wanted to send me and have me cash a check from "his client," and I'd refund him the balance--you know, the textbook overpayment with a fake check scam. Now, I'd like to have some fun with this. [more inside]

Have you done a short-term sublet (or housing swap)? If you were the renter: how did you evaluate applicants, and how did you help your subletter feel at home? If you were the subletter: what worked, and what do you wish the renter had done for you or told you? I'll be subletting my apartment in NYC but I'd love to hear from people in all areas & situations.

A while back, a designer friend tipped me off to an amusing web site that appeared to be a high-end consulting/design firm. Upon further reading, it becomes clear that the site is a parody, filled with all sorts of (well written) buzzwords and nicely styled layouts. It's a parody of consulting/design sites, I guess. Hard to describe.
I'm hoping, dear hive mind, that my NyQuil-tinted remembrance of this site is enough.

Spam-a-lot: Are there spam filters that can reject phony "Mail returned" virus e-mails by comparing the "failed" address to what you've actually sent? Such hoaxes are dominating my daily spam quotient, despite my use of spam-blocker Razor. But it seems like these would be easy enough for a program to detect.
