Amazing woman. I'm real sorry I followed up on this line, though: "If that's too much work for you, tracking all those things is pretty easy with this form." Easy, you say?

Wow. A terrific idea totally wasted by Google Docs. I'm a year late on this thread apparently, but I like the sound of this program. I hate Google Docs, but I sucked it up and followed the directions to a T. Took care to go over my answers and then plugged it all in. Sweet. Then I submitted the info and BAM! Google…

I like to think I possess the focus of Michael Myers on Halloween night combined with the thriftiness of Jeff Dahmer. Remember to make practical use of your pots, pans and refrigerator space. It is also customary to tip your babysitter.

True enough. Although long distance calling was always a bit of an ordeal. How about snapping a photo and then sending an MMS? That's still impressive, especially if you're from an age where you had to bring a roll of film in to be developed.

How long before we have the internet embedded in our brains? This carrying stuff around is such a drag. But seriously, how cool would it be to serve as tour guide for some traveler out of, say, the mid-1980s? They thought the VCR was the height of technology, imagine what they'd think of even our simplest…

Ditto this. I write fiction and if I'm stuck on a plot point, a long shower invariably will untwist that knot. Happens when I'm not even trying, too. If I need inspiration, I just hop in and start washing. I've very clean.

Didn't like The Email Game much – seemed to try too hard to be fun rather than just taking care of business – but I like the concept. Taking a look at Mailstrom now. Looks like a nice program but I won't need it frequently enough to justify paying $50 clams a year.

Oh, far out. I had no idea. I thought it was just a standard laptop. Well, thanks for that. I can rule that one out, anyway.

I can't install Word on a Chromebook? How about OpenPages?

I have an ancient Vaio I use only for writing in Word and for keeping what I write synced through SugarSync. I might use the browser a couple times a week to look things up while I'm writing, but beyond that, the thing is basically a word processor and that's exactly what I want it to be. Sadly, it's getting old and…

I was told back in the beginning that a Bodum french press, which can be had for $20 or cheaper, won't leak grinds up and won't wear out as quickly as a cheaper version. Since we're not talking about a large sum of dough, I got the Bodum and it's never let me down. I'll probably stick with that brand mainly because…

That's an interesting point. You know, I just bought some green coffee beans today to roast and I've been bumming because I only have a blade grinder. I remember using that grinder on my last batch and it was terrific. This time around, I was thinking I might have to go out and spend a crap ton of money on a burr…

I used a Keurig for a while and loved it. Now I can't stomach that swill. Once you switch over to a french press, it ruins you for coffee forever. Heat the water to just short of a boil (200 degrees, in other words), brew for four minutes in the press and then plunge. Best coffee ever, if you've got a decent brand and…

A thousand times this! It's the ultimate display of entitlement, isn't it? It's almost always some young, able-bodied person, too. They're sense of self-importance is so massive, they turn their nose up at the regular people parking lot because it's apparently beneath them.

Those able-bodied people who park in handicapped spots just to be closer to the store are obviously the bottom of the barrel. I'm always friggin astounded how many people do it, and without compunction. But what about those who take it a step further by parking directly in front of the main entrance as if they own the…

I agree with the fellow who pointed out that the scientific community is constantly changing their views on coffee. Yesterday it was deemed as dangerous as crack soaked in battery acid. Today it's okay in moderation. Tomorrow it will be announced as the elixir for long life and harder erections. Whatever. I'm drankin'…

ighome was a no-brainer for me. Tried it, loved it, never looked back. I've got a Lifehacker Widget in there, as well as ones for Android Central and Make Use Of. Feedly takes care of everything else and — waddaya know? — there's a widget for that, too.

I'm on it. Thanks.

Unfortunately, that just brings me to a generic Amazon page, no specific product displayed.

We've all been there, man. Anyway, not sure what you mean by a new head unit. Basically a new stereo? I'll probably go that route someday, although now that I think of it, the Ranger is getting on in years.
