My favorite pens are fountain pens. I rarely use anything else for writing in ink. IMO, they give the best writing experience. Add in all the ink and paper options and there are lots of combinations possible, even if you just have a single fountain pen. That’s part of the fun: figuring out what pen/ink/paper combo is…

Thanks for the pointer. That does look interesting, and in looking around a bit, I came across a list of other Japanese snack boxes at
Personally, I like Real Men Real Style's list of 11 options at http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/tie-a-scarf-ch… (or http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/11-ways-to-tie… for the infographic version), partly because for each knot it also suggests what length scarf to use and what temperature range it's suited to. While I…
And I just ordered the Logitech G710+ keyboard a few days ago! Fortunately, I contact Amazon about this and they were willing to refund me the difference due to this recent price drop. That means I'm getting it for $100 after all. So thanks to Lifehacker for saving me some extra money! :)
One of my favorite resources for neck tie knots is http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~tmf20/tieknot…, by Thomas Fink who co-authored the book "The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie" with Yong Mao. The notation they use is simple to understand, making it easy to tie any of the knots they describe. Their list of knots also includes…
This link might be of some interest: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=860687…. According to the post it links to, the user agent change didn't completely solve the problem, but disabling the Content Security Policy (CSP) did. Having to disable a security feature to make the app work isn't good. Some additional…
I think this blog post by Steve Losh, Why I Two-Space (http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/w…), has some good reasons for using two spaces after a period. It also offers counters to some of the arguments for using a single space.
I do something similar, but have more types of cards. I don't necessarily carry all of them around at the same time though; it depends a bit on where I'm going and what I expect to need. I have and regularly carry business cards from work and give those out for work-related business purposes. I also have a…
Sounds good, but is there any chance of getting a Firefox version, too?
This makes sense if it's at least close in spelling or sounds phonetically similar, but my wife has had completely different names written down. It's not like she has an unusual name either, but she does have an accent, so we think they heard it wrong in those cases.
It's probably the same as what I just saw in Firefox. The main page of the site displays, but there's no "Cleanse Me Now" button. Without that, you can't connect to Facebook to see your liked pages. It worked for me in Chrome though. I'm guessing the cause is one or more add-ons I'm running in Firefox, and since I…
I think the first computer my family had at home was a Commodore 64. I don't remember exactly why we got it, but I think we stopped using it because it wouldn't work anymore.
IIRC, using the Appstore app to purchase items immediately installs them. Last time I did that it did, at least; it could be different now. But if you purchase apps on the web instead, they won't instantly be installed on your phone. And since I don't always want to use these apps right away, I prefer to get them…
AFAIK, while you need the Amazon Appstore app on your phone to install and use these apps (and yes, it needs to stay on your phone after you install them), you don't need it to purchase them. You can buy apps from the web site. I do this regularly with Amazon's app of the day and it's always worked fine for me to…
True, Steam often runs sales and prices sometimes just decrease over time, so if you're not in a rush to play games right away, waiting can save you money. Also as someone else noted, watch for games to appear in bundles. There are many sites/bundles — Humble, Groupees, Indie Royale, Indie Gala, and Bundle Stars…
Your links for Outread, Velocity, and Syllable indicate that these are all for iPhone and/or iOS. I would suggest saying this here specifically, because I generally expect "mobile apps" to be available on multiple platforms, not just one. If anyone's interested in Android speed reading apps, you might try Speed…
Nice, but this appears to be how to tie a scarf for fashion purposes rather than keep-warm purposes. If others, like me, were expecting cold-weather scarf knots, might I suggest the following:
When I was actively trying to lose weight, yes, I tracked my calorie intake and exercise (calories burned). It worked for a while, and when my weight stabilized at a level I was OK with, I stopped tracking. Fortunately, I've been able to maintain my weight (actually, I might be a bit lighter now), so I haven't had…
Custom launchers are apps like any other app, and generally do not require root access. You might get more features if you're rooted, but they should work fine without root. I've used some before, but don't have one right now on my Galaxy Note 3. I don't think there are any special cons to them that need to be…
Yes, this is a helpful site. I bookmarked it when I heard about it before, but I don't remember when or where that was. GameLengths.com is another site that serves the same basic purpose, and it might be worth checking out as well.
