"Completely Ordinary Dog Jumps Into Snow, Survives"

It's an expensive product line that people buy based on branding- perfect fit for the Apple portfolio.

"Then you should cuddle. And make waffles. And be cool around their friends."

Cyclists are allowed to possess as much of a lane as is necessary to avoid danger. While that may be inconvenient for motorists, if they're passing a cyclist in a way that endangers themselves or others, they're the ones at fault.

"They're like face-huggers, only they live in the ocean, they can change their color to blend in with their surroundings, and they actually exist."

I'd like to see that too.

I don't know, 32GB microSD cards are fairly common now. I have most of southern California (San Diego, OC, IE, LA, and a bit of the eastern desert) stored on my phone and it doesn't seem to take up very much space.

I have two Lamy Vistas and a Safari (Black) in my collection- I'm a bit of a fountain pen geek. I've been eyeing the Lamy Studio in Imperial Blue for a while now, that's probably going to be my next purchase.

If they weren't selling for $150-300 on ebay I'd own one, those are really nice pens. I've thought about the Levenger L-tech [http://www.levenger.com/l-tech-fountai…] but it's just not the same.

Google Wave is to "No longer exists" as Google Reader is to "Also no longer exists".

Google "Substitution cipher solver". :P
It's not particularly advanced stuff.

There's tons of talk about fitness trackers, but do any of them live up to the hype?

I'm a pepper-head too, but I'm slowly learning that not everything needs to taste like burning. :)

Luxury brands appeal to consumers by selling them an image of what they'd like to be. The salesperson doesn't think you fit the image. Now you absolutely have to have it! You'll show them! And you'll feel awesome about it until halfway during the drive home you realize you just spent $500 on a pair of socks.

I've been doing this for ages. Super easy dinner:

For $250 I'd take one apart and try to build it into a motorcycle helmet- surely that'll be cheaper than the Skully helmet will be. But for most other purposes I'd rather have a "hands-up display" like the Moto 360 than a heads-up display. And I'd be willing to spend up to $400 for that.

The problem with this as it applies to Mint is that there's no consideration for the condition of your vehicle. Just make, model, year, and mileage.

"iLuv Selfy"? Talk about perfect branding for the narcissism generation.
