I'm a Kate, but when I was a kid my parents and family called me Katy. I switched to Kate when I was in college (easy to do, you just start introducing yourself to people as Kate) because Katy sounds really juvenile to me. My full name is Katharine.

I was born in 1979 and went to elementary school in the 1980's. There were always no less than 3 Jennifers in each classroom (roughly 25 kids total in each class) in my upstate New York elementary school, and one year I remember there being 5 in my class alone. It was ridiculous. I sometimes see some of those girls…

The article states that it makes Amazon Prime a better deal, not Free Super Saver Shipping. Amazon Prime is $79 a year and everything is free 2 day shipping. But yes, obviously this does make the Free Super Saver Shipping a worse deal.

Spot on with the coupons. I grew up with a mom who couponed a lot, and I coupon a bit myself, but it's not like it used to be. When my mom couponed back in the 1980s there were a wide variety of coupons available for just about every product a household might buy. Now it seems that the majority of coupons are for new…

I've found that 95% of the time, being polite yet firm will get you what you want. However, there are occasionally some instances where someone at a business has clearly completely forgotten a) customers, and retaining them, are at least marginally important to their success, b) all sense of ethics, c) common human…

I was going to be one of those people who would gladly pay for Feedly, but imo, $45 a year is a bit steep. Cut that in half and yeah, I'd pony up. There would need to be a lot more must have pro features to even consider it. Right now the only one I'm interested in is search. Plus you can get the pocket and evernote…

My current wp (comes with the Windows Abstract Dark Theme):

Have you tried Sexy Undo Close Tab? Stupid name, awesome extension. Basically it adds a little icon to Chrome where it keeps a running list of your closed tabs. It'll save them indefinitely until you clear it, so if you need that tab you closed 50 tabs ago, it's there.

Heat 1 tbsp. butter or margarine in skillet over medium heat. When the "foaming" subsides, that's when you know the pan is ready. Crack egg in center of pan. Cook until whites turn opaque. Flip egg gently and cook for another 30 seconds. Crispy edges, soft white, runny yolk.

Use two spatulas. One to slide the egg onto the other spatula, and then flip it gently with that one. It's kind of weird, but it works.

I was 18 and a Freshman in college (1998) when I got my first computer. Of course I had used computers before then (albeit sporadically; in school and one of my friends had one) but they were still pretty expensive then and they weren't a necessity as they are now. But when I was a freshman in college I found it was…

VOTE: Feedly

If Amazon just had a streaming app for the WDTV Live I'd dump netflix and sign up for prime instead.

I don't understand why so many people are incapable of seeing why this is useful. Even with reusable shopping bags, if you do a large amount of shopping at once (which saves gas, so maybe the treehuggers could stop making this an "omg you evil plastic bag user" issue), the handles of the bags will dig into your…

The weird thing is, I have AT&T Uverse and although they say they have a 250 GB cap, in reality they don't enforce it. They haven't yet come up with a meter to track how much you've used, and when you go to the page to track your usage it says, "Your usage is not yet available for display. You should not be concerned…

You could do it in something like Pixlr http://pixlr.com/editor/
