Knowing a little bit about many things can help you be more innovative. Steve Jobs got to be as famous as he was because he was interested in technology and typography, two things that were very much not linked in the early 1980's. I may be biased though, because I work in a cross-disciplinary field where knowing a…

You might try sending an email or comment to them asking if they've thought about adding food from other countries, and list the ones you need. It may be a feature they've just not thought about.

Join clubs for thing you're interested in. Between 1 and 3 clubs, more than that will spread you too thin and you wouldn't do anything with them. It's easier than randomly trying to make friends in my experience. And you already know you have at least one thing in common with those people.

lol, I don't think I am. But I think this is a common problem for people in college, in grad school, or just out of school in an internship.

I use calorie counter by "my fat secret". It has an extensive list of food items and restaurants and a bar code scanner so I like it a lot. But I haven't tried others, so I don't know if it's the best.

I would be interested to know if TYPE of commute has as great of an effect as length. I've driven to work, ridden my bike to work, bused to work, and trained to work (all different jobs, with different distances, sometimes in different cities) and driving is the worst for my stress levels. Biking was by far the best,…

My employer doesn't match. :( It would have to be saved after taxes because there's no way for interns, who aren't considered full employees, to have money pulled from their checks for something like 401k's. They keep suggesting that they will hire me as a full employee once I complete my dissertation. Then I can…

I think I had student in 2009. It might have even changed while I had it, but they weren't very vocal about it. I'm glad to hear they changed it though.

Where might I find a battery? I'd really like to update my tracks.

I make $1500 a month. -600 for rent, - 200 for water, electric, trash pick up, -50 for internet, - 200 for chronic illness medications (after insurance, 2 inhalers, singulair, nasal spray, allergy meds, but insurance wn't cover immunotherapy to reduce my meds), leaves $500 for the month. That's for bus fare and…

If you're not sure which one was out in 2003, it was the last iPod to feature a black and white display before the iPod photo edition came out. So.... it's super old. The scroll wheel still has physical click buttons under it for the 4 directional buttons (up, down, left, right).

Okay, I have to go with my initial reaction on this one. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good luck guys.

Really? They must have changed that since the time I had it. I think when they first offered it, during my free year it was mostly limited to free 2 day shipping. No other perks.

I've worn it in the shower every day since I got it. ;) Also, I don't know if you followed their blog, but part of the reason it was so delayed is because the first run had a 1 in 10 failure of the water proofing (when they added water and pressure) and they decided that was unacceptable. So they redesigned the water…

Realize that now that you don't have student rate you get some new benfits. Like instant streaming of movies and tv, and my favorite, the ability to gie your free 2 days shipping out to something like 3 family members. Get some family members to go in on it with you and split the price. ;)

I just got my misfit shine in. So far so good. The hardware is amazing. The software could use some tweaking though.

Wait, I was under the impression he was working on a side project. Was he working on work?

Btw, I always take a clear empty bottle with and fill it up at the water fountain. I always ask if it's okay at the door and I've never been told no.

I bring my own food to movies not because it's too expensive, but because I'm allergic to corn, so I can't eat a single thing that they sell. But I don't if I go to an AMC because they have a "healthy snack" option, and I can eat most of that box. My town doesn't have an AMC though, so unless I'm visiting friends in…

Doesn't work so well when there's only one Walmart in your town and the next one is an hour away. Lol. But if I move to a city I will have to keep this in mind. Thanks for the tip.
