Also, cheese is freakin' DELICIOUS!

Like the whole gluten-free thing, I think the perceived trendiness of vegan/vegetarianism hurts those for whom meat is not an option. Example, this Indian guy I worked with didn't eat meat for religious reasons, so he NEEDED the food to be cooked on a different cooking surface. But most restaurants are used to people…

hells yes! Hmmm....Cory Doctorow writes some good YA Sci Fi

Yes for regular school, but prom isn't regular school. It's about dancing and ... other things

I'd go a step further and say that I wish all clothes were custom (er bespoke), especially for women. My wife is short but shapely. It's VERY hard for her to find clothes that compliment her body. For her brother's wedding, the only dress that looked amazing on her was out of our price range. (Literally six times what…

My daughter's 15 months old so I have some time for a potentially entirely different society by the time she gets to class.

My tip: learn each other's pet peeves and then strive not to do those. I grew up in a house where we had dinner and then threw the dishes in the sink and 50% of the time they didn't get washed until the next day. My wife grew up in a house where they were all washed AS you're cooking and right after eating. This led…

Whatever would allow me to pursue my hobbies without having to worry about cost. Right now that would PROBABLY be about $150k/yr

This is what makes me sad about the walled garden that our computers are becoming - ipad for example. I can't tell my kid to make a program and put it on the ipad because it has to go through cert and all that.

One of the things we subscribe/save for is our 15 month old daughter's favorite yogurt. Without subscribe/save it's cheaper at Target. With subscribe/save it's cheaper at Amazon. But the biggest reason for subscribe/save? It's not always available at Target.

If experts have truly concluded that nothing can be spread via toilet then we shouldn't have to worry. Lifehacker is for us technological and scientific types, not those "let's not believe anything scientists say" types

some old version of Vegas video.

haha. I should totally have that policy with my inlaws with how often they get viruses on their computers. Then again, I don't want them to hate me. q;op

By working for free I got to have a press pass to a convention to meet and interview some of my favorite creatives, so it was totally worth it.

It's on Amarok. Proportional playlist.

My dad's advice which worked for him and is working for me is to get your employer to pay for it. Go, start working, build up that 401k and do your grad degree at night. I'm slightly more than 1/3 of the way though after just a couple years and that's with taking the summers off. Usually the catch is that you have to…

I read the story over on NYT and came away with two interesting things from the comments section. 1) someone reported stats (without attribution, I think) that more women are raped on college campuses than at the military academies as a kind of backhanded compliment to the military.
