Also for proper subwoofer placement, first place the subwoofer where you'll most often be listening to music. Then move around the room, and find where the bass sounds best/fullest (but not muddy from bass traps) - that's where your subwoofer should go!

Aha! That's what I was looking for, thank you!

When moving into my new place I discovered that the last tenant left their pizza stone in the oven and I've been loving cooking with it! However, I've read that it's actually not a good idea to put frozen foods on the stone because the heat difference between the hot stone and frozen stuffs can crack the stone. Can…

I already have my clock displaying seconds, which it would seem can be used in the same way as the blinking separators. Never thought of this nifty trick, altho it isn't really useful if you're using most your apps in Lion Fullscreen.

LOL and here I was coming to be a smart-ass about knowing it was a Mitch Hedberg joke first...

I live in Oakland and have Saturday off... thinking this will be my first io9 meetup! Squee!

I definitely just read this aloud to one of my coworkers as, "A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the life cycle of an ageless orgasm."

"I'm assuming it'll take a while to grow enough pot to be a widespread alternative."

where are you going to find rum that's over 200% alcohol?

YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME!?

I've been calling packing up a car/truck "Tetrising" for years :)

I'll be at the showing in Emeryville with a couple friends if any other East Bay io9ers don't feel like making the trek over to SF and care for a pre-movie geek out/smoke ;)

It's like this.

Depends on the work. I've found having raging bass music like Pendulum, or my fave Koan Sound, really helps when I'm getting a bit panicky and the work I'm doing is getting crazy and stressful - it kind of overloads me sensorially so I'm able to just focus on just one single task at a time.
