Interesting, I hadn't heard that; I kind of assumed it wasn't as good at first, but I've used it as my main protection for a couple of years now and it's held up alright. That said, it's not helpful if it prevents burning but STILL causes skin cancer.

See, I can't do audiobooks at all (I need a solid 45 minutes of just one thing, with good banter, to listen to; my mind wanders in audiobooks for some reason); I almost use the podcast as a timer for the jog (or walk, if my dog's there), knowing that I need to be done in an hour or a half hour or whatever. Books feel…

When I jog I actually listen to podcasts; I find it's actually more relaxing than music to have people talking about random stuff in my ear. Anyone else do this?

Also: sprayable lotion (such as this) seems to work just as well for me, and when you spray the bottle it comes out WAY colder than lotion out of a squeeze bottle (I'm guessing the gasses that compress it cause this; who knows, though). I like the cold lotion, and I find it easier to put on if there isn't a mirror…

It makes it easy to feel where you've put it, though, which can be a perk.

I tend to "horde" books on my iPad, so I have a lot of stuff I COULD read, but not a lot of stuff that I ACTUALLY read. It sometimes becomes more about the acquisition ("Oh, I have that book, I'll get to it eventually...") than the actual reading of the book.

I like the picture taking, hadn't thought of that. I'll often use "Drafts" for the "quick and dirty" stuff, because of how quick it opens up ready to type, and then I'll add it back into Wunderlist later.

I do something similar with a Wunderlist list that I've found really helpful; the key thing is adding things to the list right away, before you have a chance to forget about it.

It's weird they'd screw that up, too.

I'm pretty sure it's $9.99, but it'sworth that, too. Great implementation of the game.

Wasn't this the premise for an episode of Fringe?

I just got to Dantooine in my first playthrough on the PC since it came out; the prospect of going back through Taris again is mind-numbing.

Knew? Or hoped?

Part of my job is identifying pump replacement parts, which sounds about as exciting as it is. Our main manufacturer, WAY back in like 1995, developed a program for Windows 95 that's never been updated; it's still accurate (we don't really change numbers; for the one item that is changed, the seal kit, we just do the…

I'd say "Baldur's Gate" beat it to the punch on being the first D&D game on iOS, at least, but this looks pretty cool.

Be very glad. I was happy when she started it, because she really loves it, but it's one of those hobbies that's endlessly expensive.

There's a whole separate line of special acid and lignin free papers and inks and photo inks and stickers and whatever bullshit that people who are into this use to prevent that; I have no idea if it WORKS, but in a way the printing of pictures is a better way to do this; there's still an original digital, untouched…

My wife does a lot of scrapbooking, so she still prints photos out. She usually just uses our printer, which does a nice enough job; there are times she takes the images to a drug store, but really I don't see a difference. She does that mostly when it's a bulk group of pictures, or when we're out of ink (because…

A shame it all stemmed from a communication breakdown.

If you have any interest in any kind of sporting event, it's next to impossible to dump cable. I'd have done it a long time ago if I could find even a borderline easy workaround to watch Premier League and NFL games.
