Ha, I love it where not a single racer in the world (aside from some sprint racers) would touch that saddle with someone ELSE'S butt. We've gone through the "no padding just thin carbon fiber" saddles already, and while they sold to people who wanted a sub-$10 bike, no racers *actually* rode them because they're so…

Reminds me of that Family Guy episode. "a desk of cheez-its" and "a hammock of cake"

And for the love of all that is good and pure, STOP responding to those ridiculous Facebook "games" that say things like "To learn your perfect stripper name, post the name of your favorite gem with the name of the street you grew up on!" because congratulations, the name of the street you grew up on is an incredibly…

Not sure about all pets but my cat costs me about $20/month to feed, perhaps $30/month if you include litter and the odd toy here and there. I got her for free and have only spent about $150 in vet bills so far, I estimate her lifelong cost to be $5,550 over a 15 year life span. Pretty awesome compared to…

I got a volunteer job at the zoo where I walk around for 3 hours straight twice a week. I love it because it's as totally opposite from my day job (sitting in a chair in a windowless room staring at a computer) as I could possibly get.

The problem is this is a synopsis of a summary article about the actual survey, which itself isn't even all that granular. In the original study they mix daycare (more for kids 0-5 years old, after that it is only summers), private school (only an expense for middle and upper class) and school books & supplies.…

Worth pointing out, this is the cost partially including daycare/ private schooling.

I can't think of any GM car I'd want to drive anyway, so cool.

On the Apple side of things, the ability to send airplay to multiple locations when using a non Apple app, like say, Spotify. I shouldn't have to buy another app to be able to do this. And it would be nice to have the option of improving the bitrate to something more approaching audiophile quality...like what Pono's…

How about replacing the phone entirely with a watch/wristband thingy, which lets you take calls through a bluetooth earphone, transcribes the spoken word into texts or emails, tracks your blood pressure, heartbeat, steps taken, sleep; maps our your walking/cycling/driving and has a battery that lasts a week. If I need…

I love how the sites that aren't really in need of the greatest security are the ones that make you change passwords most aggressively (and that require the most complex versions).

I remember reading somewhere that if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. When it comes to growth and gaining experience, that's really the only best way to do it. For me it's been about coming up with excuses to be around the "smartest" people as much as possible. Figure out a way to get…

Saying mass and weight are the same is like saying velocity and speed are the same. In both cases they are related by a common property, but they are not equivalent. They are not "the same".

Despite living a mile from work and school used to drive my car every day. I now bike every day rain or shine. I live in a small enough town where everything I need is within a 2 mile radius, so groceries, beer, post office, and book store are all within reach on my bike. They also have the benefit of providing some…

For my Mac Mini I use to serve up movies (which I also converted from DVDs) to my Apple TV, searching for the DVD covers on Google was pretty easy and not time consuming at all. I went a step further and copied the IMDB synapsis into the info of each one in case someone else using my Apple TV doesn't know what a movie…

I've been involved in my state's science fair for over 30 years and I've seen a wide range of projects including many that deal with invasive aquatic species. In this case it seems to me that her father has introduced her to the world of fish ecology during her life by taking her along during his collection trips and…

I keep a small/medium-sized concave mirror above my monitor so that people don't sneak up on me. $5 from your car parts store of choice and it even works when you're not wearing headphones.

I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven. I told Bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating, so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening…

Fit in a small box? That's cute. I've got a pair of these that fit in a sandwich bag (size 12):

I'd much rather have Internet Plus with BBC America as opposed to HBO...
