I have an legit medicine cabinet on the back of a door, and love it (got this from work as someone was throwing it out, [obi2.vwrsp.com] ). No more rummaging around under a sink for meds.

That's a good point, and I feel like something did happen once to goo.gl. I guess since it has never happened and google is hige, I don't worry about it. I also don't backup my bookmarks or gmail, so really, I am very susceptible to google data loss. BUT, if that happens, I figure a lot of things are gonna suffer, and…

I use them (goo.gl) a ton for for note taking (e.g., supporting information in large data tables in excel), and the occasional download link via SMS. In the former, an example is combing a shortened link with [tab.bz] so that I can fit a link to 6+ papers in a cell next to a biomolecule I am working on so as to…

I normally use canary, and I needed my laptop for a full day, and so instead of leaving it open for chat and email, I did Adium and Sparrow. Just got me [over] thinking programs and their battery use.

Is there a best program for checking email and saving your laptop battery? The reason I ask is because of the LH article about how chrome kills your battery (I have a mac). [lifehacker.com]

I will need to check one of those out, but how thick are they? I think that is the best thing about the cleaver is that it is essentially a wedge which is why its so handy for melons/potatoes/etc.

Just like natakuoo said, we have a kitchen supply store that does it. Just drop them off and come back in a couple days (or that day sometimes). I swear they seem to hold their edge longer, and its better than I can get with my honing steel (meaning, longer).

Completely agree. Two additional points: getting a knife sharpened professionally is cheap ($0.20/in) and amazing; a cleaver can do almost anything and is great for cutting things other than meat like melons or potatoes. How many sets come with a cleaver, versus how useful it is.

Time Machine could back up to a share, so just install something with AFP3.x and you should be fine. There some other program (which I can't find right now) which essentially behaves like timemachine but with jungle disk, so maybe applicable to an FTP.

In the case of bad weather, probably move to something like the [www.spc.noaa.gov]

At least they aren't asking for your password. That's pretty amazing, IMO.

I think it is only because I haven't started using chrome to phone. Horrible reasoning.

I use them instead of "chrome to phone", basically make a URL a QR and scan it for ease.

I like the tennis shoe solution, thanks.

I am revamping my home data backup plan, and want to know if anyone has a good solution to backing up TimeMachine images off-site or a similar setup to keep 2 computers backed up both on and off-site in an iterative fashion?

I saw once before you have an N800, as do I, though mine has fallen into neglect. For the purpose of media player, do you still run the stock OS? Which playback app do you use? Any good car charging options? With its dual SD cards, this really is a good use.

No vote, just hoping there are flash and HDD based categories, since personally I want to know about PMPs in the >32GB crowd (64 and above).

Slightly off topic, but lets say multiple laptops are backed up via TimeMachine to a central PC/NAS that is then backed up by CrashPlan, does that kill the small incremental nature of Crashplan since each time the TimeMachine backup image is modified the whole image must be backed up to Crashplan?

Kind of on topic: shouldn't there be a super cheap ATV2 somewhere? I can't find it (at legitimate sellers) less than the new one and there doesn't seem to be refurbs or clearance.

Thanks. one more question, how do you deal with the roughness of the cut? There is a restaurant here in town that uses winebottle glasses, but the lips are rounded (I assume on the outside, since keeping a straight inside eliminates dribbles).
