For anyone who's traveled for more than a month, particularly across some remote deserts with no smelly Internet cafe in site, I'm sure you've cursed the digital world. While there are infinite advantages to that new CanonSD300 you just bought, when losing your camera means losing your photos, and storage is limited, the situation sucks. Imperfect solutions, like laptops (heavy), extra cards (finite) and hard-drives (expensive) will work, but provide no backup. Micro Solutions' Roadstor, a CD-writer/DVD-player combo, will apparently keep us smiling both in front of the camera and behind it, allowing you to burn CDs, and reading MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital, Memory Stick, SmartMedia, CompactFlash Types I/II and IBM Microdrive formats. Basically, Roadstor allows you to download photos and burn cds without a computer. There's no visual screen, but that's the breaks.

If you're in Prague and need a Pilsner break, escape to Sedlec's Church of All Saints ossuary to see the amazing but macabre sculptures of 40,000 skeletons, victims of the Bubonic Plague, Hussite Wars and other unfortunate incidents. Apparently, the church grounds were sprinkled with soil from Palestine's Holy land in the 12th century. That's when the trouble started, as every peasant and their mother sought to be laid to rest here. Thousands of bodies and a century or two later, their burial ground was bursting at the buttresses. That's when Frantisek Rint, a local wood carver and artist was hired to create a bit of beauty from the bones. It's quite a site and not for the easily disturbed. Hint: You'll find brochures all over the city. Going on your own is considerably cheaper than a tour. Train to Kutna Hora, then take a local bus two stops outside town. Locals will know what you're talking about.

Simultaneously evoking intellect, luxury, and a rebellious spirit that stirs up intrigue Susan Dolesmith's Dirty Librarian Chains (DLC) are gold, silver-plated, and brass jewelry masterpieces. Susan spent four years working in a vintage clothing shop where she gained an appreciation for quality vintage wares. Combining this with her experience as a supporter and DJ in the Austin music scene, rock styling, and attention to detail, Susan set out on her quest to create the perfect jewelry. The pieces, which range in price from $24 to $210, are created from mostly vintage jewelry meaning some are truly one of a kind due to the limited availability of different chains. From layered and knotted necklaces to drop earrings, each intuitively formed piece exudes Susan's edgy elegance and have been featured in 002 and Nylon Magazines. Dirty Librarian Chains are available in limited quantities from Factory People.
