I live in a two-driver, one-car house by choice, after I sold my car in favor of Zipcar for our second ride. I was paying $44 a month in basic liability insurance, plus fuel and maintenance. For that price, I can get basically 5-1/2 hours of Zipcar driving per month, and not have to worry about keeping a car.

(Oh, the reason I linked Google Voice & Gizmo was because GV doesn't allow international numbers to be used as registered phones. If GV started to allow international phones to be forwarding options, I'd have stuck with GV, saved my money and not had to go the Gizmo route.)

Even if Gizmo is now charging for calls, it's a nominal rate, and it's really dirt-cheap for someone who's travelling. I just linked my Google Voice number to my Gizmo account, and then set Gizmo to forward all calls to my in-room phone in Austria. Now, for 2 cents a minute, my friends back in the US can call me while…

Well, this no doubt will be labeled "troll", but as soon as I saw the headline, I realized that anyone who uses Windows is settling for "good enough" on a daily basis.

The iPhone may have a low-resolution, slow-shutter camera, but I'll say this: occasionally, you can get some absolutely stunning shots:

My wife and I used to each have a personal car, but when Flexcar set up a pair of locations right next to my house, I sold off my car and switched to a prepaid plan - for $9.99 a month, I got 3 included hours of driving, with any additional hours charged at the regular rate (around $8 an hour). For that price, the…

@skadus Seriously? A checkbook? Honestly, I haven't written a check in six years. I really had to think about where my checkbook was when you mentioned it.

There's no way on earth that I'll ever go barefoot, having suffered massive amounts of pain on my honeymoon after wearing shoes with poor arch support. Plantar Fascitis is the most painful thing I've ever experienced (well, after kidney stones), and barefoot walking is the fastest way to exacerbate it. It's my "Good…

Cucumber in club soda with a touch of lemon juice and a mint leaf. And a shot of Pimm's.

Are you serious? By the time you add in your time, the cost of this "lifehack" is totally not worth it to "save" the $5 every three months.

@UnStatusTheQuo:

I went with the [www.weaknees.com] option several years ago for my Series 2 (actually a Toshiba SD-H400) when I thought the original drive was going on the fritz. I upgraded from a 40-hour unit to what was promised to be a 270-hour drive, for around $139 shipped.

Nice. I have the fortunate situation that I am the only one using my online handle (as of yet), and my father and I are the only two men on earth with our name. So as long as he stays computer illiterate, and I keep posting to first-rank blogs and sites like Lifehacker, I will stay atop the search!
