If you haven't noticed, it's wedding season here on the Sugar Network and I've been busy telling you how to keep up with your own wedding website, pick out the perfect photographer, and manage all those photos — yours and your guests — after the big day. This week, we're moving into the wedding planning stages, and today I'm talking about slideshows. But this isn't the after-the-event, it-was-such-a-beautiful-day slideshow, this is the slideshow you play during your reception, usually packed with photos of you and your betrothed throughout your relationship together.
Although I've already given you some tips on what you should consider when putting together your slideshows, you may not know where to begin once you have all your photos chosen. If you don't have a Mac (I know I've talked your ear off about the simple joy of iPhoto), you can still make professional-looking slideshows and videos with your PC. Who woulda thought, right?
Find out what software you should consider, and what to do with those stacks of (nondigital) photos when you read more
Last night on The Hills, the entire crew (minus Heidi and Spencer) jet off to Hawaii for some tropical fun. We witnessed some sparks fly between Brody and Audrina and back in Los Angeles, Heidi and Spencer entertain Heidi's religious ex from Colorado. Another episode where the cell phones and tech toys are flashed as much as the booze and bling. Now let's quiz you to see if you saw it all! And don't forget to check out CelebStyle for all the wardrobe selections!
My skills in the kitchen tend to fluctuate from the very elementary to the occasionally sophisticated (case in point: a beautiful soufflé that shall never be reproduced). What makes the biggest difference for me is having instructions, and not everything I want to make is in the Joy of Cooking.
I get most of my recipe ideas from food blogs like YumSugar, and my best solution for using a recipe I found online was printing it out and getting it covered with ingredients in my messy kitchen, or keeping my laptop somewhere safe and traveling to it for the next step. But when I saw this Kitchn reader's solution, a mounted computer that the reader's husband scored on the cheap, I swooned. And wish I'd thought of it first.
Imagine, having all the recipes you've saved on the Internet in one place — right where you need it.

It's netbook madness all over the place — the only thing we could ask for is more variety. . . and more operating systems.
So far we've only seen one released Android cell phone — the HTC G1 — but it looks like Android is hopping into the netbook fray too, with the Alpha 680, which runs Android and costs $250.
To say I'm excited about an Android netbook is a huge understatement. Even though many new Android handsets have been predicted, I'm way more curious to see how this OS will play out as a computer.
What about you — given the choice, would you rather experience Android on a netbook or on a cell phone?
