Ballard is totally cool with lots of great places to eat and lounge. Oaxaca (Mexican), Matador (Mexican/drinks), Volterra (Italian), Besalu (French Pastries, best in town), and Floating Leaves Tea. Love this neighborhood.

Cool!
1 FaverViewed: 38 TimesQuoted: Finally, a way to backup to Windows Live Skydrive! Here’s what you need:
_ A Windows Live Skydrive Account
_ Gladinet (Read my post on how to install and configure it)
_ Comodo BackUp
_ At least 10GB’s of free temporary storage(I’m barely surviving 8GB’s of free storage)
_ DSL or higher(I’m using DSL, and it stinks. Dialup users: forget it.)
Now that Skydrive has 25GB’s of storage, you start to wonder why that there isn’t a free backup solution. Well, now there is. After hours of searching and testing, I can now say I have found an almost perfect solution(and yes, I do have a life). Put on your seatbelts. Let’s jump in. - mohit - 24 days ago1 FaverViewed: 7 Times
