Great idea - but it helps TREMENDOUSLY if the boxes are transparent plastic. Undersink areas are always dark and little doodads always get lost under other things. The transparent plastic helps with light and makes it easy to find things without having to remove everything from the boxes.

I use this method (with a cheap plastic filter folder) as well as Aeropress at home. "The control afforded by delivering a measured amount of water over a period of several minutes" is not enthralling, it's tedious. IMO, it doesn't taste any "better" than Aeropress, it's different in a way. One big PLUS: the pour over…

Amen to the granny/reef knot tip. I read the original Runners World article thinking, "oh what crap are they telling us". But it's changed my life.

@Fergie24: Agreed. Look at what gets put out as "music" today. The content is "stupid". Why would I want to listen to it in lossless if it's bad enough compressed?

When I first read this story in Runner's World magazine, I thought it was going to be stupid. Then I realized I had been tying granny knots my entire life. When I corrected my lacing, my life was seriously changed. No kidding. Since doing this about a year ago, I have only twice needed to retie my laces during a run…

@SpriteMV: Try Quick Startup from glarysoft.com. I know there's a section where you can choose to delay when programs start, I think in 30 sec increments.

@Phoshi: Exactly. It was the best. Then I grew tired of sidebars and just wanted max performance so I gave them up. Now each little app gets its own web page in Firefox. #windows

I can only speak for myself, but I'll say that about an hour after eating something laced with MSG I wind up with extreme dry mouth. It's obvious not a fatal symptom of anything, so life goes on.

@edosan: Agreed. Got myself a brother mfc-9440cn. Not cheap, but toner last sooo much longer than ink. If you need pictures, get them from Kodak or Shutterfly. I've had color ink jet printers - not worth the trouble (special inks, special papers, etc...). I keep my cheapo HP LaserJet 1300 for the bulk of my printing.

@MarcelloDufie: Yah baby. NOTHING is more sophisticated than having a real bow tie and tying it yourself (thought it takes me like 20 minutes each time). All those clip ons are so fake looking.

@James P. Howard II: Agreed - nothing beats the look of a full Windsor. However, I have a few very "thick" ties that are very difficult with the full. For those, the Pratt knot works great and still looks excellent.

Save a copy of the pdf file too in a central rebate form folder on your computer in case you lose the printout or you make a mistake on the printout.

@futureb: Always store ground coffee in the freezer if it won't be used in a day or two. If you take coffee straight from the freezer, give it a few minutes to warm up before brewing with it.

@Francesco Di Maggio: It also will list files without an extension, but this is quick, easy to remember, and what I use most of the time on Windows as well.

Anybody know if this will work with a 2nd Gen Shuffle and podcasts? For some reason, iTunes (at least previous to version 8) will not autofill a 2nd gen shuffle with podcasts automatically. (You have to manually edit a setting in each podcast before it will work.)

People get a grip. Who cares who the heck is the most tech-savvy person? If you can get your work done quickly and correctly, do I really care if you're using the ribbon or classic menus? Who cares what interface you used if you took twice as long to do the job and the results were wrong?

@Chris Casey: Amen.

@appleturnover: Oops, that was supposed to be direct to MeganHaoiet! Sorry.

@planetarian: Were you being sarcastic? MS did remove the old UI and people did freak out. And people avoided O2k7 if they could.

@Lee Gaupp: I've only used Handbrake on the Windows side to encode for my Creative Zen, but I'm pretty sure it will handle h.264 encryption to mp4 files for iPods. In fact, I think it's one of the presets that come with the program.
