I've held off on buying a GPS watch for a couple years hoping smart watches would become useful. It's not that complicated: GPS watch + SIM card + bluetooth + touchscreen. Garmin already makes a touchscreen GPS watch, so that's halfway there.

One of my dogs would kill to have a squirrel costume. No seriously, she would murder a squirrel and wear its skin. Other squirrels are too busy fattening up right now to notice she's an imposter until it's too late. Squirrel massacre. All because people put stupid costumes on their pets.

That might be the exact one I've been looking at. I want to use a phone/tablet/computer to view the feed instead of a dedicated device, but my wife thinks it'll be too complicated for anyone else to use. Since I have an old iPhone 3G laying around gathering dust, I'm planning on getting a camera to keep an eye on our…

I saw that original article this morning and was disappointed - I thought they were going to explain how to make dynamic wallpapers (like the built in ones that have dots that'll slide around depending on how the phone's angled). Oh well.

Yet my wife still insists on getting a baby video monitor :(

I've been on a plant based diet for over a year and am really happy with it. Lately it's sort of morphed into vegan-paleo hybrid (ie fruits, veggies, and seeds/nuts only), but that's mostly due to the fact that I love oven roasted vegetables much more than any rice/pasta dish.

My commute's about 16 miles each way. Up until about April this year, that meant a 25 minute drive each way with a stop at daycare on the way home. Then I tried biking and found I could still get to daycare a few minutes before the other parents arrived (and my kid was the envy of all the other children since he got…

Does this apply to buying unlocked phones? We're switching to T Mobile in December when our plan's up, so I don't want to extend my current contract and leaving now would get me those wonderful early termination fees.

The single night of data points by its self isn't interesting but seeing an entire week could be. If I tossed and turned all night Wednesday but slept great on Monday, it'd be easy to check if it could be related to activity levels or what time I went to bed.

That's what we do too. We'll also check the upcoming week's ad in case there's something good enough to warrant saturday and sunday trips to the grocery store (eg ground beef on sale until Saturday + corn on sale starting Sunday = 2 grocery store trips + grilling all week).

An average of $30k?! That's insane!

I have a couple regular routes but they all follow the same idea - from my house to a lake, around that lake (makes it simple to add distance) some number of times, then back home. It makes it simple in case I need to be found in an emergency, plus it's easy to bring my dogs with when there's a large body of water for…

Depends on if I'm driving or biking to work.

Yeah, the nose unlock method has limited uses. Although swiping to answer a call or pull up the camera while keeping my hands toasty warm is totally worth it.

I thought I remember hearing that the screen can register 11 touch points - one for each finger and one for your nose. Seems odd Apple wouldn't let you store 11. I know in winter I'd much rather use a nose print than take off my gloves.

We updated one of ours right away and couldn't get iTunes Radio to work. For some reason the screensaver also changed to the nature photos instead of our photo stream. Oh well, here's hoping they fixed those bugs!

Has anyone tried using their noseprint on the Touch ID? In winter I've swiped my nose to unlock my phone so I don't have to take off my gloves... That might solve the whole power button dilema.

I've used the guest account for presentations before and it works pretty well. Another option is a virtual machine - that way you won't have any extra task bar icons.

I ran out of grenadine and substituted some juice from the maraschino cherry jar. It ended up tasting so much better that I've never used grenadine since.

I've long prefered digital since it's so easy to share with other people and sync across devices. My wife had always used paper. Our solution: shared electronic lists with a whiteboard on the fridge showing the status of the most important tasks and a queue of tasks waiting to be added to the shared lists. We started…
