USAA is the best ever. Period. I have to laugh whenever other bank's commercials come on the air because USAA has them trumped in so many categories. In customer service alone... I called once at 230 in the morning, from the shoulder of a highway... got an english speaking woman on the phone who was sitting in Texas.…

My friends and I had this idea while playing around with the 3D printers in arch school. We decided we would someday try to combine a 3D printer, cake mixer and ez-bake oven into one amazing machine that could print 3D cakes. Think of the possibilities! Want a birthday cake shaped like your face? DONE. Want a cake…

Washed out is my fave from the "Chillwave" genre. Just enough of a beat to keep everyone interested. Plus it makes great night-driving music- you feel like you're in a movie.

When I was in arch school I went from working at my studio desk in a big, cushy chair to a simple metal stool around 5th year. Besides the change in aspect of the view- the stool being a good foot higher than the chair- I found it made me more productive and less likely to procrastinate. It could have been the fact…

Oh believe me, I have a huge stack of vinyls, CD's and my hard drive is bursting at the seams with music files. I just really enjoy spotify because it lets me discover new stuff so easily and listen to the whole album without having to plunk down $10 to itunes to buy it and then not really love it.

Oh my goodness gracious NO. It gets you access to the full Spotify library, at home or on the go, with no ads, all for the same cost as ONE iTunes album per month? If you're a music geek like me who loves exploring new music, its an absolute steal for what you get.

So that could be, quite possibly, the worst perspective drawing I've ever seen. Its called single-point perspective for a reason, folks! Also, as a designer myself, I know I go to these lengths every day to make sure that stuff is symmetrical, that ceiling grids are centered in their spaces, and that lights,…

All of these are making me wish I had more room in my driveway. Maybe I should spend the 5k getting it extended?

Was about to say this myself. Grado has a great selection of cans in this price range.

Yes day late but:

Apparently earthquakes are good for stocks?

For someone like my uncle, who owns a construction company and has run his cellphone over with an excavator, this would be perfect.

+5 for the concrete installers joke.

Can I come live where you are? I'd love to be able to bike commute on a dedicated path on nicer days.

aaaaaand beat me to it.

I don't think I've ever seen anything to prove the "uncanny valley" hypothesis like this. I am extremely disturbed by this.

My old range rover had 2, and they were the easiest things on the whole car to replace as they were located at the base of the windshield, under the hood behind covers that came off with 2 screws. Took no more than 10 minutes, total.

Man, I wish I worked at an office that did interesting stuff like this. As it stands, I'm the one who comes in after the guys have done the interesting stuff and lays out the workstations. Yawn.

When I got my first cellphone in 2004 in northern NJ, I was really, really looking forward to getting a 201 area code. We had been pushed out of the 201 area years prior by 973. Not only did I not get a 201, I also did not get a 973. What did I wind up with? 862. Which means any time I give my cellphone number to…

With those, it won't matter anyway, because everyone else around you will already have had an earful of what you're listening to.
