I need to line up resources for some people to prep for, and take, Exam 70-348. Does anyone have experience with this one? What online resources should I direct us to for study and prep? There seems to be a LOT of noise out there if you google the exam number, but not a lot of analysis or information about which of these organizations are worth paying. (There are a few prior questions here about MCP stuff generally, but nothing recent.)

Mrs. Spitbull and I have made an offer on a house in the Berkshires (Western Massachusetts). Now we need a home inspector and a lawyer for the title search and closing. We have lots of names but would love a recommendation from Berkshire mefites for particular people if you have worked with them and liked them. Memail is active if you prefer not to respond in thread. Thank you! [more inside]

A few years ago I read a short (2-3 sentence?) poem about anxiety/fear. It may have been in The Sun or The Believer magazine. It went something like "You spend your life afraid that something will happen. Then it happens and you worry that it will happen again." Does anyone know the poem I'm thinking of?

Someone is looking for answers. They go to a house to speak to the person living there (a woman?), but that person refuses to talk. So they begin to leave, but see someone else (a man?) mowing the lawn. The investigator stops them to inquire, and that person is more responsive. [more inside]

A few years ago, I found a YouTube channel that was full of archive clips from a late 80s/early 90s public access TV channel, I think based in Florida - one was a music video filmed k Tampa Beach. For the life of me, I can't now find it - does this ring any bells?

I'm building a website for work. Users must be able to create an account and update a fairly lengthy set of CV-type academic info on this account (lists of publications, grants won, employment history, etc.). Users should be able to update this info over time, so a single serve Google Form will be insufficient. The tricky bit: it needs to be embedded in a Google Site. [more inside]

Two different regular wired USB keyboards of different ages and a Logitech Keys-to-Go bluetooth keyboard are easily recognized by my PS4, which has latest sw update. But - although I can navigate and launch apps from the highest level of the PS4 environment using the keyboards & arrow keys, none of them are recognized *inside* any of the applications. So they are not very useful. Same result regardless of which of the 2 usb ports on the PS4 I choose, rebooting, no difference. [more inside]

A few years ago I read a quote from a (POC I believe, at least a minority of some fashion) artist where the gist was "because we're minorities no one cares what we make, but because no one cares we can make whatever we want". (It was shared via a Facebook post so it's devoid of context.) I can't seem to find the source though and Google is failing me. Help?
