Oh, I *must* have this T-shirt.

Man, if my brother roleplayed, he'd so be getting this for his birthday.

Car stereo advice wanted

I just bought a 2002 Mazda 626 and I want to upgrade the stereo, something I couldn't cheaply do with my old 1997 Taurus.

I want to put this MP3/CD player into it, and this kit seems to be a pretty decent console to put it in.

Should I expect to need any more parts in order to do this? Do I need a wiring kit too?

Should I do this myself or pay someone to do it? If so: mechanic, Best Buy, or car audio store?

I'm comfortable taking a computer apart, but I haven't done much with car stereos.

Power outage

We recently lost power at TBLC. For half an hour, maybe an hour, we had no power -- and so I scrambled madly to shut everything down. It didn't take too long, and everything came back up without too much trouble.

We're getting new UPS equipment next month, but our current system seems to have worked pretty well. Good to know.
