One time when I needed to remind the Drunkersons upstairs about our discussion re: blasting music at 4am, I accidentally put a broom handle through the ceiling. That's when I switched to a shoe. If you have a stucco ceiling, I recommend safety glasses.

Docks be damned, I have Cmnd+Spacebar.

I find rice cooker results very consistent, in fact it's probably my most reliable small appliance. Even the toaster can't approach the rice cooker's degree of conformity.

Except the pet insurance won't cover a lot of those hereditary conditions that a purebred is subject to. Better off with a nice, genetically sound mutt.

I'm going to change careers and get a corporate gig where I need a projector, because I can't wait to set up my shoebox and legos for that big presentation

How about one of these bad boys? [www.ubergizmo.com]

I like having the tree up but I don't like decorating, so a pre-lit fake tree is the tree for me until the little guy is old enough to do the decorating. Right now his expertise seems to be in decoration removal and demolition

In Canada we have Boxing Day sales, which have somehow ballooned into Boxing Week, cause why not? It's the same thing, offloading last year's stuff to make way for the new stuff. But that's cool, unless you're expecting a major product overhaul, most people will be perfectly satisfied with the outgoing model if they…

Traditionally, the easiest way to save recipes is to rip them out of the magazine in the doctor's waiting room, take them home and stick them into your recipe box or binder.

It's ok if you use one of these handy splash proof kitchen tablet/smartphone cases: [www.ziploc.ca]

After fiddling with a bunch of other recipe apps, I found evernote works better than any of them

That's a great book too. Taught myself to be a competent cook with the original Big Yellow version

I agree, I love dropbox but it's like saying you're using Mac OS Finder or Windows Explorer as a recipe organizer.

Related #tip: If you use your smartphone/tablet to look at recipes in the kitchen, a plastic sandwich bag or freezer bag is your friend. Waterproof, and the capacitive touch works just fine through the plastic.

Vote: Evernote

Only if you also propose to solve simple and manageable smartphone issues by discarding the expensive smartphone and buying a different expensive smartphone!

I've been using Filmic Pro, although it feels like overkill sometimes and boots up a bit slow on the iphone4 sometimes. But It allows you to adjust the video size which I think is important on the 4s, because really, how often do you really need 1080p video? it'll eat up all your storage space!

I've had the same thought. The 1080p on the 4S makes it necessary to have an app that can record maybe 720p instead, since I really don't need to use up all my hard drive space on baby videos that my family will all be watching on their smartphone or netbooks anyway

I want to know about a video editing app. I'm researching for a new phone right now, and a decent video editing app might tip the balance for Android. Mostly all I've found are mediocre reviews for existing apps, of the "Well, at least it's functional" variety. I need more than that.
