We were lucky enough to live 5 miles from a ULINE before our last move (they will also ship). They have some pretty fairly priced moving kits that include boxes, tape gun, sharpies and packing material. It was $100 for everything we needed to move out of a 2br apartment, and we had boxes left over. Sure you can pick…

Used sports cars == bad idea. At least not as a daily driver, it took me 2 tries to figure this one out. I bought a new truck last time around. 5 years, 85k miles and very few problems later it still runs fine. Not selling any time soon.

I used to get sick several times a year until I started visiting a chiropractor from time to time. Most people just look at me funny when I suggest this, but it has made a huge difference for me. There is something to keeping all your pieces in the right place, I rarely get sick more than once ever 2-3 years.

I made one such cable just this afternoon. Since we went with new construction we did the in-wall wiring throughout the house. Everything goes back to a panel in the laundry room so most of the network gear is out of sight. The laptop is wireless of course.

None of that daylight saving business here in Arizona. It's not all good though, now my meetings with out of state clients get bumped around. The weekly team meeting at my last job always ran right into lunch for half of the year.

I'll also cast my vote for UltraMon. The Smart Taskbar and Window Move buttons are by far the features I find most useful. With different size monitors (17" and 21") it has no problem setting up different wallpapers or resizing moved windows to fit the other screen. Well worth the $40.

I take a 5-15 minute nap 2-3 times a week, usually sometime after lunch. These short naps make a huge difference in my focus and productivity for the rest of my work day. Before I started working from home, I would spend a couple of very non-productive hours at the office fighting off sleep after lunch and getting…

I used to have this problem as well and couldn't go a day without nearly or completely falling asleep at work. Then I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and now sleep with a device that aids breathing. The difference is night and day, and I rarely feel tired during the day because I'm actually sleeping at night.
