War on stuff
How to get rid of your unwanted things
By Heidi Masek hmasek@hippopress.com
The 1980s children’s performing group Rosenshontz sang a song called “Don’t Bring it Home,” about not bringing more stuff into an overfilled house. In a nation of consumers, we tend to bring stuff home whether we have a place for it or not. And when it comes time to get rid of it, we can get a little overwhelmed. If called upon to deal with items a loved one accumulated before leaving the earth, the project can be daunting.

Arts: Public eye
By Heidi Masek hmasek@hippopress.com
One of the coolest places you’ll find around these parts, though it’s not very well-known, is the Andres Institute of Art. The trails of the former ski hill are open to the public to traverse, free of charge, while viewing, touching or even sitting on outdoor sculptures. For nine years, a small group of sculptors from around the world has been invited for an annual symposium there. They work for about three weeks and leave a piece of artwork on the hill.

By Dave Long

Techie: Whither XP?
By John “jaQ” Andrews jandrews@hippopress.com
By most accounts, Windows Vista is not the overwhelming success Microsoft was hoping it would be. It took longer to work out the kinks and release the operating system than originally planned, so PC users were stuck with Windows XP.
