My experiences with newegg have been quite poor. I live far enough out of the way that there are no real brick and mortar options within a couple of hours drive — the nearest would be about two and a half hours to a microcenter in Cambridge, Mass. Usually, that means I read reviews on amazon and buy there or at…

Ok, ok, I give. Guilty as charged. I do in fact own a grill brush.....and I'd have gotten away with it too if it were for those pesky kids!

well, the area around my grill is all 3/4 inch crushed granite stones, so....

Very close to perfect — if they hadn't messed with the placement of the keys on the far right (home/end/up/dn/ins) it would be perfect.

I was a huge fan of the original Microsoft Natural Elite ergonomic keyboard. They stopped making them but I could still get them for a long time. There was a gap for years though where none made me happy. Finally the new Microsoft "Sculpt" ergonomic is really good — but not great. For programmers, the way…

And it still isn't as effective as a chair under the knob.

Even if I knew the answer to your question, it would be inappropriate for me to answer it. I was reluctant to even say that I'd done any work with them, so I'll just stick to my positive comments about their professionalism and attention to security.

Listen to every podcast, have read the books, and they have greatly influenced the way I see and analyze the information around me.

I've used Fidelity for years as an investor (fairly small time) and always had extremely good customer service and results. I've also done some I.T. work at Vanguard and been extremely impressed by the professionalism, commitment to security, and also the respect with which they treat each other up and down the…

love my Kreg Jig. Great for fixing cabinet drawers or building furniture — whatever you're into.

Thank you.

Well, here's some before & after photos of a 2002 kia spectra I bought as scrap and fixed up for my daughter a few years back. It had been outside with the windows open after being used to haul HAY for the guy's rabbits. No kidding. But maybe I don't know what I'm talking about after all.

Sorry there's not much…

And Tyson is street fighter who happens to be able to box enough that the let him in the ring.

Well, I'm not great at it, but I've got 4 of 5 years of learning Shotokan behind me, in a dojo where we also learn some ground pounding and boxing because as the owner of the school says, almost any real fight eventually goes to the ground, and he's not convinced that "just" shotokan covers enough of that. That…

When I rebuilt an old Kia Spectra for my daughter's first car, I removed the seats (most car seats are really easy to remove), hung them from tree limbs, and used tide, a scrub brush, and a garden hose to get out 10 years of the nastiest grime and red dirt I've ever seen. Then I let them drip dry in the breeze for a…

Resolve is bad, bad, bad. It can leave things sticky and attract more grime.

Good leather should clean right up with saddle soap.

It's misleading to say "only have an intuitive knowledge of...." —- that intuitive sense is the result of millions of years of evolution and unless you really study very hard and focus a lot of concentration on reading that language (or if you are autistic or otherwise unable to trust your intuition) you are probably…

Dave, Boston has to cover 5 states with two guys. I finally had my appointment yesterday on schedule. They don't accept walk-ins in Boston either due to the limited staffing. They do have cancellations so sometimes you can get one of those a few days in advance, but not very often. I live 2.5 hours drive from…

I've been waiting for my appointment in Boston since November. 30 days my backside.
