Amen, I think it's ridiculous for drivers to blare music so loud they can't hear things like sirens, honking, etc. Car radios should have a decibel limit while the car is in gear (I don't care if you want a mobile stereo system that blasts the birds out of trees as long as you're parked).

Unsafely Cross the Street With An App That Watches For Traffic

Here's an example of a recipe. It's pretty impressive for a "generic note-taker app"...

Actually Nate, you might want to check out Springpad, since it has a specific "Recipe Box" type setup. It has specific fields for what type of cuisine, what meal of the day, cook/prep time, and keeps them separate in the "Recipe" section. You can even add your own Cuisine and Meal options (like I added "Holiday" to…

If you sign up for the website and click through to the recipe link, it says to simmer 30 minutes.

Screw lines, stores, and sales. I went online and bought all my presents in a matter of minutes.

That's actually a great idea, to write the dates down... That solves my household problem of "Gee, how long has that been in here? I think I remember putting it in the freezer last summer... or maybe it was the year before..."

GENIUS!

You may have just saved my Thanksgiving. I've been distracted with conventions and packing to move and ferrying my injured BF back and forth to work, so I left the turkey details to my roommates. I found out this morning that they'd thawed the turkey, but hadn't read the recipe (which can doom you if said recipe…

The last time a Virgin was late was the immaculate conception.

Yes, but this is a cheap, simple fix for in case you need both hands free, like for example, if you're watching movies or listening to music while in the kitchen cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

If you use Grooveshark and you're worried about losing that awesome playlist you've been gradually building over months and months of use, there's a website that will create a text list of your songs so you can email it to yourself or save it in a text file for future reference... you know, just in case.

Sucks.

I see the high contrast, but I disagree on the color saturation... After all, look at how many black and white or sepia-toned photos it selected. What I'm seeing instead is a focus on complementary colors (note how many of them have blue and gold as their main colors) and monotones (B&W, flesh tone, monochrome…

"It's four screwdrivers in one. That's three fewer things to lose."

Little known fact: Kirkland brand liquor hasn't ever been able to be sold in Costco's home town of Kirkland, WA. (Liquor sales not being allowed at Costco and all that.) I'll have to try it sometime when I'm out of the state.

If you or any of your roommates are female, I would not recommend the special FX blood. It won't faze anyone. As it is, I usually have to talk to my female roommate at least once every other month about her "biohazard spills".

Change 3. to "good booze" and you're on.

Amen. I've been thoroughly happy with Voice Actions (a.k.a. Jeannie, whom I have renamed "Bob" and he calls me "Fearless Leader") and their developers, who are really up to speed on getting updates done and taking requests. I've personally had several requests for improvements go through. I bet if you email them…

LOL has basically turned into the equivalent of an emoticon. I look at the lowercase lol as a little guy raising his hands and screaming "Woohoo!" Maybe the uppercase is him at an angle with his elbows bent, saying "YES!"... Or something like that. Whatever. The point is, it no longer really means "laughing out…
