For me the most important aspect of these reminder apps is how fast they open. If there's even the shortest delay before I can see my tasks or enter a new one, I shy away from using the app. Toodledo, for instance, is a great system. But when I open it on my iPhone, there's a delay of about 3 or 4 seconds before I can…

I looked into that but read in a number of reviews that it doesn't work so well if your teeth are tightly spaced, which mine are.

This is my absolute all time favorite phone game. It's remained on my phone longer than any other. It's simply a delight to play and the satisfaction you get from completing a tricky level is phenomenal. It's really made me appreciate the finer subtleties of color as well.

Why don't you get a Waterpik flosser? It's way quicker and way more fun than flossing.

A couple of points:

As far as I'm concerned if you have to use a knife to peel an orange then it's an epic fail. Pull yourselves together people, it's perfectly easy to peel an orange without making a mess. You just have to stop being a fucking ham-fisted toddler and use a little finesse and care. If you're really short in the orange…

Wish my mind was interesting enough to map :(

I am addicted to the Japanese t-shirt folding method and actually love folding my laundry because of it. I've even had people in the laundromat approach me and ask me what in the hell I'm doing. I've also managed to adapt it slightly for long sleeved clothing.

People are already starting to do this in audio production, by using an angled touchscreen as a virtual mixing desk in their DAW (see Sonar X2a for example).

The absolute best thing you can do with your Gmail account is to create a set of labels which encompass every category of message, and move everything from your inbox into them. I use Gmail as a front end for my business account, and last year I set about moving every single message in my inbox into its appropriate…

I most certainly do not! Oh wait, you mean "down there." OK.

One of the articles linked to here mentions that plants improve air quality by producing negative ions, similar to some air purifiers. I have been dubious about the health value of ionizers ever since reading a study which suggested that a statistical increase in the rate of lung cancer in people living near…

Goddammit, why does there always have to be a down side to everything.

My house stinks of vanilla. This is sure to clear it up.

When I was a kid in the 70's and our record player broke, we didn't get a new one for weeks. During that time, my brother and I discovered that if you spun a record on the plate manually, and held a sewing needle in the groove, you could just make out the music if you listened closely enough. Holy shit, we destroyed…

So find out who is behind this site (shouldn't be too hard), and then put posters all over his neighborhood accusing him of being a convicted pedophile, with a photo & home address. Simples.

A lot of people over a certain age wear their ignorance of new technology like a badge of honor. The same kind of people proudly announce that they're "still using a dumb phone" and have "never sent a text."

In some parts of Scotland, it is.

The sad thing is that people these days equate "good sound quality" with tonal coloration. So cans or speakers aren't worth looking into unless they deliver a kick-ass, thumping bass instead of an accurate and balanced representation of the whole frequency spectrum. The first thing most people notice when they try out…

What's not to like about dollar bills! They add a nice layer of extra girth to the wallet. Change just adds it to my hips.
