This is a good point. In LA the city begged and pleaded with some amount of success to have employers stagger their employees start times because congestion in and out of downtown is so bad. For really big companies there really isn't a need to have everyone in at 9am. We do this at work: I get in at 8:30am or there…

Would this app let you use an ipod touch as a phone with a bluetooth headset and a data connection?

10.6.8 has basically been the perfect OS for me. Zero complaints.

Just did this on a long trip to europe and it was GREAT. Not only was the apartment much cheaper than any hotel in Paris, by a lot. It was bigger, had a kitchen, and a washer dryer. Would never stay in a hotel again now that I know. The added value too is that you generally get to live with the locals. In Florence we…

The only issue with not being full time is that not only is it less take home pay, but for me more importantly, the benefits for non-full time employees can be greatly diminished. For example where I work now, part time employees don't get matching 401k and don't get free tuition (I work for a university) for their…

I'm not vegetarian, but I do know for a fact that vegetarians can get complete proteins and fats from plants and dairy. Its a little harder if you are vegan, but you can still get it done with plant products. Mostly, you'd be looking at the standard tofu+rice, bean+rice, corn+beans, to make complete proteins. Note…

Classically, you'd grow corn, and let the beans grow up the corn, and then plant squash/pumpkins to grow on the ground. Its a native american tradition called the three sisters: http://www.reneesgarden.com/articles/3sist…

Yeah, I would not do the chain and replace it with an under brace, or better yet, I know its DIY, but just get one of these and attach it to the side: Fold-Out Convertible Desk

I paid $900 dollars for my macbook 5 years ago. Its time for an upgrade but on average i spend about 4 years with my apple portable and spend about $900 each time. This time around i'll probably go up to 1300 since i'm looking at the MBA or MBPretina. But since I hold on to my computers for so long its seems like an…

As g1010101001 mentioned location services really eat up the battery. Even with just average use, I have to charge the phone twice a day.

I really like the nexus 4, but I wouldn't call its camera "beautiful". In fact its down right awful. It has the worst camera of any of the flagship phones.

Absolutely! Shoes will turn jeans and a shirt from casual to "california" business appropriate. They really do matter more than people think.

Thanks! I'm sending this link to my sister. She loves Cornell Notes (which they have!), and we had such a hard time finding her some sheets of it. The closest we found was a notebook for taking meeting notes on amazon, that she had to modify slightly. Now she can just print some sheets out as she needs them.

My problem is that my insurance auto renews, and its kind of a set and forget thing. Thankfully California is coming into the modern age soon or so I hear, and accept looking it up on your phone as proof.

What's the best document/office suite for iOS (either/or) android?

You and your book problems, Penso.

That's an interesting thought Penso.

Hey, I'm going on my first European trip, to Germany, France, and Italy. What's the best way to charge my devices without blowing them up in all these countries.
