Metro is the worst. Switch to tmobile's $30 dollar 100min, unlimited text, unlimited 4g (throttled after 5gb) data plan. The best part of this plan is even if you need more than 100 mins a month they just charge you 10 cents a minute for when you go over the 100 they give you.

The two times in the last 10 years that I've called T-mobile customer care they've been super friendly, and helpful. One thing I used to do is used data on an off an on basis, and for a brief period of time they changed how that worked. It was the day after they made this change, and I couldn't find the thing I…

With regards to flickr, how do you go about uploading a large number of photos at once?

This is McArthur genius award price worthy costuming right here.

We still print out agendas for each of our meetings. So I'll take notes on the agenda itself. Whenever possible next to the agenda item, and if I need extra space on the back page. I then just file them. The only real problem is searching through notes for stuff. I'll have to skim through a bunch of pages to find what…

You learn pretty quickly. If you travel over seas at all, you'll find that most countries have a complete different keyboard lay out. The french keyboard lay out is awful. You have to use the shift key in order to type a period for example. However after using it for just a week, I got pretty good at it.

This is at work. I must say I'm impressed, but its a huge private university. Even our public wifi here is super fast.

I came here just to mention these. They're really great for day bags on trips. When I went on a trip to Europe recently, in the last minute I packed on of these bags, but since I had also taken a small backpack I didn't think I'd use it. Well it was the only bag I did use. It was perfect for carrying all myst stuff,…

Guadalajara, Mexico is <3 for me. I love cities and vacationing in cities. As Mexico's second largest city, and its business capital, its metropolitan but still incredibly mexican. Plus you can take a train to Tequila, be in a beautiful town, and have some of the best drinks.

This is the post that started the pipe shelving craze: http://www.the-brick-house.com/2009/09/shelvi…

This is totally what I did with my printer. Its in a cabinet of a credenza, and it rolls out when I need to use it. I print frequently enough that I keep a printer but not so often that I leave it on or plug in for that matter, so there is no worrying about over heating. I've really quite liked the set-up.

The ios version of Plex is universal, which means it will run on both your devices seamlessly. Of note, if it was just optimized for the phone, you'd still be able to use it on both it would just not look great on your iPad.

This is fantastic. Its like a cleaner version of my current set up. Thanks for sharing.

This is basically the same experience I had.

I'm right there with you bud. I'm not sure if its the user or that I don't completely remove it, but one computer keeps getting it back over and over. BLAH!

Yeah, there's been a lot of additions in the last year or so to CL. The map view for apartment searches is great. Padmapper was still way better at it, but the CL version will do in a pinch.

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…
