a few links of note

First, Tivo is implementing some nifty networking features. The best part -- all of this will work with Rendezvous technology. At some point, I see an upgrade happening. :-)

Second, FAO Schwartz has declared bankruptcy. :-( I know they were obscenely overprices, and I can't imagine buying anything that's not an FAO exclusive from them, but their stores are so nifty. They're not closing all of their stores, but a bunch will be shut down.

And within LJ, check out this pseudo-spam posted by gothwalk. It was an amusing start to my morning.

Anyway, no real news to report other than that. Was asleep hella early last night, and am now busy as a bee would be if it didn't have a hive mind and actually had work that made it think.

FAO? You're kidding! They're... an institution, man!

Well, bankruptcy doesn't mean they vanish, just that they have to restructure. I mean, K-Mart did it, and they're still around, too.

Oh, I hope they stay in business. I think they're the only local place to get Steif plush toys and Gene dolls. :P Admittedly, the Atlanta store isn't exactly the bee knees in comparison to some of their other stand-alone stores elsewhere in the country, but it *is* an FAO.

Well, at least there are some cool independent toy stores in Atlanta. :)

Not FAO Schwartz, just FAO (parent company). This means that Zany-Brainy is at risk, too.... *ARG*
