Same here. Bought a 2006 Boxster S Porsche-certified (2 year warranty) last summer. Go back 4 to 5 years and you'll find great buys around $30K. Bose sound system, leather upgrades, etc. Yep, not the latest/greatest, but it's a BOXSTER S for cryin' out loud! The Porsche-certification will add a bit to the cost,…

I have a 2006 Boxster S (bought it just under a year ago). I like the '06 styling better than the '13. The new one looks like it wants to morph into a 911. By the way, I *love* my Boxster. It's expensive to maintain, but makes me smile every time I drive it. Styling changes aside, the new performance stats are…

Two syllables. [www.youtube.com] The one-syllable version seems to be a U.S.-only thing from what I've read.

If you have access to a 3D printer, then rapid prototyping is the way to go. That's how I built a custom iPhone mount for my car: [www.kevingunn.org]

Definitely an increasing problem. When I'm searching for an item I need to purchase, most of the top hits are NOT sites that have the item, but sites that promise to compare prices between sites that *do* have the item.

I was eager to disagree with this article... but I can't. Very nicely presented.

@djmashedman: I've had significant issues on my iPhone 3g, but it appears to run fine for other people. I don't know what determines how bad your problems will be, but it definitely is different from one person to the next even on the same device type. That said, I find the problems to be reduced by forcing a reboot…

We always eat breakfast together. Highly recommended as you spend time together AND it forces you to slow down long enough to breathe before diving headlong into your day.

I pay for pro account on Toodledo. The amount of customization makes it easy for me to break apart my day job tasks from my personal-professional projects from my personal-personal projects. Creating sub-tasks within projects is then the real winner. Admittedly, my need to balance big projects across three…

Funny, but I just read a great article on the power of self-experimentation in which the author discovered the opposite to be true for him. He sleeps better now that he stopped eating breakfast. Apparently he would wake up in anticipation of food. By eliminating breakfast he eliminated the motivation for awakening…

It's a clever idea, but you can get a real 4 ft x 3 ft melamine white board for $30:

Convertible.

I'm 18-24 months from a (used) Porsche Boxster S (2007 or later).

"Things" on my iPhone.

Personally, we've found that disabling the Themes service on XP makes machines MUCH faster. Of course, you lose that FANTASTIC, AWE-INSPIRING Fisher-Price look.

My vote for generic data disks goes to foot on sidewalk, BUT

OK, I'll admit right that Speed Racer has always held a special place in my heart. I've always dreamed of rebuilding a car to look like the Mach 5 (engineering that canopy shape may not be physically possible, though). I went to see the movie with a mix of anticipation (Speed Racer!) and dread (please don't ruin it,…

@karlawithak: You need to ask for a raise. Tell your employer exactly what you are saying here. You have to pay your bills in Euros, but your pay is in dollars. Ask them to adjust your salary to help out.

We use a spending plan. It works like this.

The best way to avoid procrastination is to postpone it until tomorrow...
