Dear Willful Ignorance,

I just toss a little Sta-bil in the gas tanks of the mower, weed wacker and generator at the end of the season. Stuff works well, with that said my mower and weed wacker were hand me downs. I'll probably go electric once these break down and I finally have to purchase one.

So..... citation coming in six months then... >.<

I love newegg as they tend to be so thorough with product information and reviews. The only problem I have with them is their shipping to Alaska was really steep not like that would affect many people out there. So I ended up switching and using Amazon for most my computer parts ordering (free shipping). I haven't…

Can't say enough good things about bias lighting behind a computer monitor or TV. If you're the kind of person who likes to watch TV or play games in a dimly lit room it will keep you from getting the dreaded zombie eyes. I'm a big fan of the RGB LED 5050 15 foot long strips you can get off amazon. I've got them on…

I'm basically in the same boat. I use free remote access software "TeamViewer" and have it installed on all my relatives computers I have to deal with. It works on Mac, Windows, Linux and has free apps for Android and iOS. I've actually fixed a problem on my sisters computer when a big term paper was due while I…

Mine was on the list, looks like the password they had was more than four years old. I try to change my passwords for my email and any account that has my credit card number attached to it every six months.

I spent six months riding a bike for an hour at a time for 4-5 times a week before I stepped into a gym. Part of it was to convince myself I could keep with my plans before potentially throwing money away at a gym and not actually using it. So after six months of riding and dropping nearly 60 pounds (caloric…

Yeah, going to be a bit of a pain to set up to work as a small box over the existing deadbolt but a servos a battery pack and an arduino with a wifi and a motor board I might be able to pull it off. I think www.instructables.com actually had some good guides for similar ideas.

Yeah that was when I really didn't know my renters rights very well and I recognized the guy from seeing him work around the apartment complex so it wasn't waking up to a stranger in my kitchen, it was waking up to a near stranger in my kitchen (somehow it seemed a little better.. I don't know why). I have since…

I'm sorry, it wasn't a simple setup. I've been doing I.T. and programming for the last 20 years and about five years ago started working with Arduino's and Raspberry Pi's as cheap computer/electronics platforms for building my own electronics or hacking other electronics I own to add additional functionality to them.…

I have a home server that I never turn off so I can access it from work and while on the road via VPN (although I used to use TeamViewer to do it). I ended up setting up a few wireless cameras that detect motion and had mounted one in a hidden spot that covers the front door and another one overlooking the living room…

We were having all kinds of issues with lunches and food going missing in our office fridge about a year and a half ago. People started putting up nasty notes on the fridge about the thief. After a few weeks it escalated so that one day all the lunches were in the garbage with coffee and gounds poured over the top…

A bit spendy, but I like this style where the TV doesn't have shelving above it as I worry about the amount of heat that would collect at the top.

Camelizer~! I use this all the time it's helped me save so much money. I can see if a product is peaking or in a valley as far as prices go and it's pricing history which helps when I see a "super sale" on amazon where the product is 50% off I can look at the history and realize it's only 10% off the normal price,…

Now I just want to make a kegarator, but being the type of person that generally bites off more than i can chew, I really want to make a kegerator into the bottom of a MAME arcade cabinet with the taps on the side.... hmmmm beercade!

I've looked into using Problem Steps Recorder and was really unimpressed by what it did. For most users it's easy to have them use the "snipping tool" in Windows 7. I can't count the number of times I've gotten work orders that just said "It doesn't work". I generally have to hold back from writing a snarky email…

I take pictures of our whiteboard in nearly all my meetings. It's trivial to open the pictures in Camera+ and turn up the brightness, contrast and saturation. They even have a text setting for pics that works about 90% of the time. Then I use TurboScan to compile them into a PDF on my phone before sending them out.…
