I went through a pretty rough patch in my late 20s. Divorce. Bankruptcy. Near death car wreck that revealed my ex-wife had been cheating on me with my best friend. I was stalked by a psycho. Had a car stolen, house broken into. A sick "girlfriend" accused me of domestic violence, falsified a police report, took me to…

I was in a deep rut a couple of months ago. A couple of TED Talks by Brene Brown about vulnerability convinced me to be stubborn about being open about my experiences. That got my gears going much faster than I ever thought it would. It also probably saved me a lot of therapy!

While we wait for Wigwag's story, I'll tell you one.

Who can blame Jeter for asking someone else to be the one who sucks ass for once?

We're called Lifehacker. Just FYI

anything about how to get back the camera roll? it's really annoying to have to find pictures by year/place/etc

You've gotta eat, right? This is a great way to take a breather from your work, especially for people like me whose work (I'm a writer) is so intangible. It's great to be able to make something concrete with your hands. I put on music or podcasts or audiobooks and cook up something healthier and cheaper for breakfast…

although not if you need to rest your eyes

Do something you do not want to do. I try to use the power of procrastination to force myself to do less desired tasks. It works like this: I an writing a speech and am tired of it. I say to myself, "You can either go on working at this boring speech, OR you can take out the trash." Since taking out the trash is…

Read, read, read!

Most of us don't love to clean, so doing it in small bursts when you're stuck on something is a great way to step away from work and check off an item on your to-do list. The key here is to take on small cleaning projects. Don't clean your whole house from top to bottom. Instead, take five minutes to clean the sink,…

Thanks for pointing out the ridiculousness of this Albert. I live in Vermont and love Sneakers - it's seriously excellent brunch that is enjoyed by many locals and visitors and they even partner with the neighboring bar so diners waiting for a table can sip (chug) bloody marys and mimosas. Sadly even in Vermont the…

Oh, for fuck's sake, this still doesn't tell me how long I have to freeze the cake for! SMDH,, useless!

Sure, but personally, I think that's kind of a weird way to look at it. The question isn't whether the Winooski resident was right or wrong or a hypersensitive twit to request the sign be taken down; the question is whether the restaurant committed some evil capitulation to encroaching Wahhabism (or whatever) by…

You lost me at "neat efficiency of a four way intersection. " Everyone knows rotaries are more efficient and environmentally-friendly, and it's a relief that more small town traffic engineers are starting to recognize the fact, thereby dragging themselves by their knuckles into the 20th century.

You don't hear kosher Jews complaining!!!!

The contrast between the two singers shows us how much difference high-end gear can make. In this case, the Beyta 87 is obviously better than the SMDH-58.

The football rivalry is nothing compared to the rivalry between their swimmers.

I almost did a spit take but I don't want to come off like a prude.
