Step 1: Buy a soy cow...

Me and my Android-loving roommates use Our Groceries. I have my phone on me at all times, so if I'm cooking and notice something's out, on the list it goes... And if I'm going grocery shopping, I tell my roomies to go raid the kitchen and check for anything we might need, and add it to the list. While I shop, Our…

A good trick to getting a good mattress for less is look for stores that are having sales at the end of the sales year, when the new models come in and they need to get rid of last year's versions. You can also ask about display models, if you're not squeamish about buying a mattress that hundreds of people have…

My best suggestion for picking a good mattress is go to a mattress store and spend a lot of time there. Seriously, dedicate a day to it, because you're testing for long-term comfort and you don't want to just lay there for a few seconds. What feels great for a few moments can work its way into uncomfortable after a…

Yeah I rounded down from the default 6.15% on the first $500, though when I started my accounts, my balances were pretty low, so it was really close to 6%.

Yes, shin splints are caused by the repeated impact of the heel striking the ground, which is directly transmitted to your shins. By softening your step in this fashion, you reduce the level of impact that places stress on your leg bones, thus reducing or even eliminating shin splints.

Seconded! Let's have a review of Bluetooth headsets in the double-digit price range instead of triple digits!

Breathing is the #1 cause of cancer, followed closely by eating. A recent study showed that 100% of cancer patients breathe on a regular basis, and only a slightly lower percentage eat several times a day.

My FSA has come in very handy, what with all my doctor's visits throughout the year (yay chronic illness! Woo!)... but I usually wind up having a little left over at the end of the year. Know what it's good for?

As an interesting side benefit, walking and running ball-to-heel is also quieter. Ever wonder why people who are sneaking step on tippy-toes? Well, okay, so maybe the way you see it on TV isn't that effective, but yes, setting the ball of your foot down first reduces the impact your foot makes on the ground,…
