The other thing is that Costco takes up so much real estate that by the time you walk all the way to the back corner to buy some toilet paper, you get hungry as you walk back through the food section...planning or happy accident? You decide.

Man, what a bunch of whiners. I recycle jars and cans all the time. When I do the dishes in the sink, I throw some of the soapy dishwater in the jar and let it sit for a while. Then swish and a rinse and you're done. You don't have to get them clean to NIFDA standards. They are being ground up and crushed and…

Pen/pencil and paper are excellent - portable, private and not dependent on additional hardware (except a lamp or coffeemaker). I also use Q10, a free fullscreen text editor with the added coolness of key-clacks sampled from Amelie's manual typewriter.

Hey, here's a way to reduce heat buildup - move the cabinet away from the radiator.

As long as some of the hippies are chicks, I'm cool with it. I love me some hippie chicks.

Also, aren't about half the houses in Boston made of wood?

@GunRokk: LOL. I have a hound and he'd be running all over those guys, looking for biscuits and a good belly scratch. Can't beat the old school!

"Most troubling: it's up to you to find the music you want to listen to. " That comment made me laugh coffee through my nose. Isn't the whole point of being able to go onto the Net to look for music?

Two words. Apache helicopter.

Girls. Analog is definitely better. Except there's no mute button...

This sculpture was worth way more until one of the museum guards left it next to the giant telephone sculpture and it derezzed the tape.

Sing with me, frog friends!

I have a PSP 2001 that I like a lot. However, whenever I start it up, my daughter magically materializes from thin air and snags it. Do I want to spend $300 to $500 to let this keep happening? She's a kid, but she can get a job and get her own.

Did nobody else look at the very front of this?

What, me worry?

This is a fake. Everybody knows writers don't have any money to put in a wallet.

Gee. I thought Matrix:Revolutions was a hoax.

I went from Windows to Linux in my bathroom this year and once I found the drivers I needed for the sink and shower I haven't had a problem.

You guys are all weak. I set up my Bowflex desk and since I figured out how to keep it from flinging my laptop I have become muscular and ripped and King of The Internets. I'm thinking about making a Shake-weight cellphone setup, but I think I'd probably get a concussion.
