My parents never understood; but I suppose that was their upbringing. Old and cranky, they shouldn't be expected to adapt to the whims of modern culture. "You always move so fast," they'd always say. Apparently multitasking is new to them.

It is the sign of the new age. A brain hooks up to computers and terminals, skimming feedsites and sending relays to the social construct terminals in the city center. The city. Wherever that is. Physical confines have become obsolete in the last twenty years next to the immeasurable bounds of the cyberworld. It…

Just so you guys know, some of the links here don't work properly. When clicked, they go to [LH articel URL] [link URL] so it just takes me back to this article.

@emrichar: One thing my mom did once was sew a metallic, heat-insulating fabric to a layer of thick wool-like cloth and make drapes out of that. Very insulating and very simple.

I actually was able to install my XP copy Adobe Creative Suite on a Windows 7 machine today without any virtualization or XP mode enabling or anything. Just insert and install. Not sure if that was due to this, but it doesn't sound like it.

My parent's living room has a vaulted ceiling that's easily 20 feet high, maybe more. So they have these huge windows looking out onto the driveway.

Awesome. I got into this pretty heavily a few months ago...followed Drew Douglass' ([blog.themeforest.net]) and Chris Coyier's ([wordpress.tv]) tutorial series on the subject. Pretty sweet stuff. Drew Douglass ripped that baby apart and built everything from the ground up. Gives you a thorough and full…

Christopher Walken teaches cooking!? Awesome!!

Satchel may say "Look I'm still in college" but to me, a backpack says "Look, I'm still in high school...or going camping...in the city." But it's comfort and practicality really that's the point - both of these articles and this site to begin with - so I won't argue nuthin'. :P

Damn you geographical restrictions!!

Awesome, congrats you guys!

Found this article this morning ([www.dumblittleman.com]), thought it was funny that I read it and then this one on Lifehacker right in a row.

Order them? It's be even cheaper to make one. Just screws, some holes and a piece of metal. If only I had a drill... (and a non-landlord-owned/not-glass desk I could drill into).

That's pretty cool. Now to find the friends to take the pictures of :P.

@junkmail: What was your way of cutting them?

Nice. Handy little trick.

I've seen this somewhere before...maybe on Curbly...anyway, that would kick ass to have, anywhere really, but especially in a small, compact living space. Awesome!

Why is it so positive that American culture doesn't have a lag before getting to other countries anymore? I'm sure that's good for news and whatnot, but seriously, why doesn't Russian culture ever come to the US? Or why isn't the US permeated by foreign cultures and media icons and news and social occurrences as…

Why don't we just attack the amateur porn wave that's enveloped the internet in recent years? Isn't that almost the same idea? I don't think anything's wrong with it; the pictures were indeed good, Cyrus sounds indeed smart, and if the magazine's telling the truth about her people being there all day, then what's…

I have an old film teacher I still keep in touch with, sending periodic emails and updates to him along with family and friends about my school or job or general life status. When I'm back in town, we'll likely meet for something, be it food or just a brief encounter, but it's a cool kind of thing to be able to have…
