Check out the post about getting Star Alliance Gold status easier using the Aegean Airlines frequent flyer program through all of the Star Alliance member airlines. There are a bunch of conditions that end up reducing mile conversion for certain fare codes on certain member airlines, but the bottom line is that you…

Most of the time, the elite line qualifications at the particular airport change enough that the agents checking don't know the current qualifications and they let anyone that has anything even resembling special status on their ticket go through, especially with the airlines rolling out these new pay-to-go-past…

I've always been interested to find out if pregnant women qualify for the HOV lane if no other people who have been born are in the car. If they don't, doesn't that constitute a firm government stance on when life begins?

Galaxy Nexus not receiving the update, presumably because of its Texas Instruments OMAP processor, which is no longer manufacturer supported.

Me and this guy. Wooooo.

ENFP: The Journalist. Makes sense. I used to be a journalist.

We also need Crazy Eyes tested.

"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of a vital importance. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this... historic school, progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be…

Is a fat arrow one of those ClipArt things in Microsoft Word? If so, how would you fill one with air and why would one ever be that big?

It could be worse. Earl Milford could run Clifford Chance.

This is from the ALCS two weeks ago. Look at the spot on the glove. It looks exactly the same as the spot appeared last night. That says to me that, like most superstitious athletes, Lester rubs that spot on his glove then touches the back of his cap with every finger but his index finger as part of a nonsensical…

Looks to me like it's a ritual for him. He's been using the glove all season, scratching that spot on the inside of the glove before every pitch, which wears the finish on the leather away after hundreds and hundreds of times. The now unfinished patch in the glove gets some grass touching in during workouts, practice,…

I do this as well. As soon as I hit the line before the TSA agent, I take my belt and ring off, putting them in my backpack along with my keys, wallet, sunglasses, and smartphone. Combine that with a TSA-friendly laptop bag and Sperry Top-Siders to make a lean-mean security passing machine!

If you see somebody with a backpack having different sized pockets (like a North Face bag, a professional camera bag, etc) that they are stuffing their "tray items" (belt, sunglasses, wallet sans ID, cellphone, keys, jacket, etc) into while they wait in line to have their ticket and ID inspected, FOLLOW THAT PERSON!!!!

If you're flying out of Denver, use the secret bridge checkpoint instead of venturing into the Pit of Despair. Much, much faster!

Pro: Baristas tend to get you all finished up and on your way as soon as your beverage cup has been filled, instead of getting all wrapped up in a rapid-fire argument with their co-workers in another language while your tank has been sitting full for several minutes.

Cross Click gel pen in matte black with black ink and a Moleskine notebook. Works like a charm.

That's like a 300% markup from face value, right?
