It's sad, isn't it, that the first thing I thought of from that bottle's name was "So THAT'S how Luwaxanna's husband's family made their fortune"?

I can't remember the last time I bought an "expensive" glass of wine. I do remember that I wasn't particularly impressed. We tend to purchase from local vineyards, which tend to be cheaper, and we find them tastier. Plus, having moved around frequently, we've experienced a broader variety. Some of our favorites come…

You can set DD-WRT to intercept all DNS traffic and route it to the DNS servers your specify.

Well, then there are a lot of things that aren't very important for him.

Office 2010 has a built in PDF writer. Save as PDF and you're good to go.

Public health research has noted a surge in STI rates in Florida. The population affected? Retirees. The condom for your grandfather might be more important than you think.

Not a bad idea. It would seem that mirrored tiles could be cut to fit nicely around any framing or wood work.

"...for faster web browsing and other benefits." Don't forget those "other benefits."

That may be the case for some, but it hasn't been my experience. For the most part, my phone sits on my desk at work unless someone calls me. I just don't use it that much during business hours. And I notice a distinct difference in battery performance that improves over time after flashing a new ROM.

"Tablet" is a little vague, given that they run iOS, Android, Linux or Windows. Wouldn't a tablet running Windows 7 count as a computer? (Rhetorical question.)

I have found that my battery life is always poor after flashing a new ROM. It takes a few days for the device to figure out what's really going on. For example, I went to CM7 last week. The first couple of days, I was running out of juice by noon. By the 4th day, I was going to bed with 60+ percent charge, which is…

Depends on the phone, probably. On my Aria, plugging it in also turns it on. It won't charge in the "off" position.

I "play" Farmville, because my kids like playing Farmville. My wife has let them arrange her farm, and they occasionally need someone to give them things. I can help with that.

I like my Aria. I've checked out the HTC Inspire 4g. It's a nice phone, but it feels so much heavier in my shirt pocket than my Aria does. I don't spend all day on my phone and use it, primarily, as a phone and an "email alert system". So bigger isn't better for me.

Federal forms I submitted for free using www.freefilefillableforms.com, which is basically online PDF completion and transmission of your forms. Free for all, regardless of income. But you're still filling out all the forms yourself.

You don't own cats. Cats own you.

Duvets and comforters are different beasts. A duvet is typically enclosed in a duvet cover, which can be removed and washed with no harm to the insulating material. A comforter is a quilted blanket with the insulation sewn into the blanket. They don't hold up well, in my experience, to frequent washings.

We have cats. Anyone who's been a servant to the feline overlords knows that kitty litter doesn't stay in the pan. It sticks to feet and fur. Cats are creatures of comfort, which means they like beds. Making the bed keeps kitty litter out from between the sheets.

Oh, nertz. I clicked the wrong "reply" arrow. I was aiming for arj8138.

None of the free utilities really allow you to manipulate the PDF file once you create it. There is more that PDF can do than just make "universally readable" documents.
