NOT free. You give them your email address and have to tweet or post to Facebook about it. That's hostageware.

RealMac has gotten to be a greedy little bitch.

I'm a sucker for the quadrille lined Mead Composition book. I used them for work and now when I write. It's an affectation that harkens back to my days in the lab.

The thing I liked about the public wallpapers in previous Wallpaper Wednesdays is that I could download them and try them out. Specifically, the black sand wallpaper was very striking but the link had no way to download it.

This looks like it only supports Nexus or Google phones at present.

Just be careful what you put on there. Any mention of pressure cookers, guns, and ammonium nitrate might flag a visit from the feds.

This is why I only buy California Olive oil. My local supermarket has a wide variety. And Trader Joe's has small bottles of varietal olive oil that's nice and peppery.

America's Test Kitchen called these "Baked Potato Fans" and used a nice trick to help in slicing them. Position the potato between two chop sticks and you won't slice them through. Also, a really sharp knife is required.

Another perspective.

What about Medico locks?

Paco Underwood's The Science of Shopping talked about how he and his company did this "by hand" (with a clipboard and a field data gathering agent). When retail analytics was in it's infancy, most store owners thought that everyone entering a store would buy something. Paco's data proved them wrong and showed what…

This pillow was a disaster for my neck and shoulders. I sleep on my back and on my side. It's to high for side sleeping and put a lovely side bend in my cervicals. I went back to the IKEA contour the next morning. I'll keep the pillow for client sessions, but it's a pity because I had high hopes for it.

As counter point, I have a client who builds his own machines, but sometimes it can be more trouble than it's worth. At a new job, he declined their standard desktop or a Mac to build his own honking linux box for running VMware and building VMs which was part of his job.

While you may not have ever set foot in New Orleans, you are closer to that area than I am in California. I've been experimenting with Red Beans and Rice since I had it on a recent trip to NOLA. The rice is typically from South Carolina. How does that compare to the Basmati or Jasmine from TJ's?

I learned being a consultant working for a major computer company that if I claimed even a passing knowledge of something, I'd be sent out on a customer call expected to have that skill. So I became very conservative about claiming what I knew.

Adam, did you check out the foam (and other models) at IKEA first? I'm about ready for a new mattress and that's the first place I'll go.

I edited out the folders (I had four) and was left with 27 feeds. The site timed out before it could complete my request. Either they need to seriously tweek the php.ini accordinly or this site isn't doing so well.

I wasn't able to get Newsvibe to recognize my subscriptions.xml file. It "imported" it but saw nothing. What did you do to get Newsvibe to import your takeout files from Reader?

Well written overview of all these OTC meds. Some time ago, I stopped buying the name brand compound mixtures of "cold remedies" and just by a single generic version with an antihistimine, a decongestant, and a cough suppressant that work for me. I'll have to buy some ibuprofin as I've been using generic regular…

I was attempting to access my Citibank VISA web site to check a balance and was told by Chrome that the site's certificate could not be trusted.
