I am not using any additional hardware. I was able to find different apps in the Play store to run my Electronics such as the TV remote, Roku App, WD Remote, Media Remote (Run my Blu-Ray player) and I side loaded the DirecTV Tablet app because I couldn't get it to install from the Play Store. I have since loaded the…

This is a great idea. My mom is a quilter and is always working on a project when she is in my car.

Was it Amazon's fault or the company delivering it? I had a couple orders last month that were being delivered by OnTrac (Regional Delivery company) and the item would sit in their possession for a couple days before getting delivered. I ordered my Roku 3 and sprung for 1 Day shipping to get it in time for a holiday…

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. I ordered a couple things in the morning and then placed an order for a Chromecast that day (it was launch day), two days later all my purchases from that day showed up in one package.

I have been sharing my Amazon account with my dad for a couple years now. he doesn't order much but when he does it is nice getting the 2 day shipping. He was a little bummed when he found out that you can't share the Amazon Instant streaming perk of Prime.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post your instructions.

I have been following some of these suggestions at work recently. My cubicle had gotten out of hand but now it is organized and has a good minimalist feel to it. I am also trying to go paperless at work as well because it just adds to the clutter and to try and counter the fact that some people in my office print…

I do have a couple "old" smartphones that date back to 2009 but I know what you mean about classifying most these devices as old.

I use KeePass and sync the password file across my PC, laptop and Android devices using Dropbox. I mainly use it for the passwords I don't often have to enter. I remember most my other ones. I also keep track of some passwords for my parents in there because if they can't remember it the first thing they'll do is ask…

I took a Gen 1 Kindle Fire and loaded Android Jellybean 4.2.2 on it and am using it for an Ultimate Universal remote. I can control my DVR's, Blu-Ray, Roku and WD TV with it. I just wish Vizio would release an app so I can control my TV's. I'm still looking for other things in my house I can control with it. I also…

My previous house was all wired up which took some time but it was worth it. My current place isn't fully wired yet but that is a goal of mine over the next few months.

The shower rack is awesome. My corner metal shower stand is starting to rust and this is a great way to replace it and not worry about the rust. Looks like I found my weekend new project.

I have been in my place a little over a year and have started thinking about painting it recently. I don't have much stuff in it but it doesn't look as nice with the unpainted drywall.

Whether you are hiring movers or moving yourself make sure you decide, and if possible mark boxes, where they should go in your place during moving. This will help prevent moving the same boxes over and over again between rooms.

I did the same thing before moving in to my house last spring. The previous owners had cats and never looked after the air ducts for 6 years since the place was built. The day after I closed I had a Duct cleaning company come out to clean out everything, they even found the dry vent wasn't hooked up properly. The next…

The Pizza in a Jar story is linked early in this article.

I also remember the first 256 MB USB drive that I bought. Thing cost me almost $50 but I thought it was worth it because it was so nice to have so much space available in such a small USB stick.

My worst gadget purchase has to be the Zip Disc Drive and 4 Zip Discs to go with it.

I am in CO and have tried pot a couple times but it doesn't help. I know some people that it has helped but for me it doesn't even dull the pain a little bit.

I have tried Percocet, Vicodin, Midrin and even Oxy. I don't know if I built up a tolerance to them or if my body just rejected them but after a month they stopped working.
