I was all over those free deals back in the day. I got a free 4th gen iPod, a free iPod Shuffle, and a free flatscreen TV. After about 6 months they started getting ridiculously hard to complete though so I quit.

Portenzo is King. I've tried the rest, and Portenzo is the best (hey that rhymed). Durable, great customer service, and quality workmanship. I can't tell you how many comments I've gotten on my Portenzo case. After almost a year of hard use, it looks better than ever. Nicely worn in and "used" looking like an old…

I worked at a local fish restaurant in college and had to make the coleslaw from time to time. We mixed the cabbage and mayo in one of those big huge buckets. Just like you I was up to my elbows in cold mayo and cabbage and I have very hairy arms. Don't eat the coleslaw...or the tarter sauce for that matter. Same…

Fly fishing boots often come with a felt sole on the bottom. If you've ever waded in a river with slick, algae covered rocks, you know the usefulness of having those felt soles. Rubber soles, no matter how treaded or tacky slip like ice skates on algae. The felt sort of lets the algae and water soak in I guess,…

If you've got an iPhone just use the Apple Remote App. I have my Apple TV wedged into a groove in my wall mount behind the TV (no line of sight for the IR) so the little remote doesn't work. I always have my phone in my pocket, so I'm never looking for the remote, and it communicates over the wifi network. It also…

I've never taken a liking to Feathers and lord knows I've tried. I think they just don't agree with my beard and skin maybe. I'm in the minority with my preference of blade, but they work the best for me and are pretty darn cheap...I'm a Derby fan through and through. I can use the same Derby blade for a couple of…

Speaking of the brain learning to process wonky visual information...over the last 4 years I have had idiopathic choroidal neovascular membranes form in both of my eyes. What this means to the lay person, is that I get these strange runaway bunches of blood vessels form in the layer of the eye beneath the retina, and…

I once tried to turn my old iPod (G4 model from 2005) into a "video player" by recording audio/video out signals to mp3. Using the red/white/yellow RCA plug I took one of the audio signals and the video signal and captured the signal as stereo audio on my iMac. I figured the video signal coming in as the left audio…

@CaptainJack: If you cross your eyes it's inverted. If you just relax your gaze (like with a magic eye picture) it comes out right.

@Weihovah: Am I wrong or are there at least 5 people here who don't understand sarcasm?
