Seriously wish there was a command to say:

OK, that's great and all, but as someone who actually cooks food, I wouldn't want my spices right next to my oven. The heat will degrade them right quick. Store at room temperature, not 'right next to stove' temperature...

There's a lot of info out there. If you pick up something like a TRX, it comes with a workout DVD that teaches you the techniques. There are a lot of good workouts posted online. They also have some instant videos you can buy on their site (I realize you are trying to keep costs down, though). If you are talking about…

I really like T-Mobile's approach lately; doing away with contracts, free international roaming, flexible upgrades, and reasonably priced plans. They seem to be the only carrier that's thinking differently (guess you have to when your trailing behind the competition). That Simple Choice plan looks really nice. If they…

Dollar for pound, nothing beats the Dremel when it comes to portability. With a wide variety of attachments and handy travel case that comes with most Dremel tools, it's perfect for small projects on the go.

It's even worse than that, in fact, since streaming videos aren't generally sent out at the same bitrate as you would get from local media. For example, a Blu-ray disc has a max bitrate of 40Mbps. Statistically speaking, the average American could tell you that this is nowhere near what their internet speeds are…

By the way, you should write "an" alphabet, not "a" alphabet. Just a technicality.

You totally win with the electric moka, seeing as it's perfect for the office kitchen situation! I just want to add in a hearty 'yes, the moka!!' That's the closest I've come to espresso at home without a machine and it's perfectly good enough for me.

To check if batteries in my remote control are still good. Just point at the camera and press any button. If working, you'll see the IR light up.

+1 to this. I have never, ever forgotten where I parked my car. Ever. If its a particularly large or convoluted lot, I always aim for a column or a post as a landmark. Also parking in corners on ends makes it much easier to find the car. And helps keep down the asshole factor (by only having someone park on one…

The "new" maps is, for the most part, useless. Why they fixed something that wasn't broken is god's own private mystery. The mobile app is good for point to point directions, but the expanded functionality it formerly had is gone. Unless I'm doing it wrong, which is entirely possible. If I am, I'm sure I'll hear…

Do you hate yourself?

I was 12 and my grandma bought me a Timex Sinclair 1000, which you hooked up to your television set. I remember borrowing a friend's Compute magazine so that I could program it with a game that had three pages of BASIC code. Not knowing how to type and sitting on the living room floor, this was an arduous task. …

Just accepted a new job where I can take the subway that's within walking distance from my house and the company will reimburse mass transit costs. Right now I'm driving 20 miles to work each day and paying a $5 bridge toll one way - the toll alone is $1200 a year.

I usually uninstall Facebook, and set all apps to update only when on wifi, simply for power consumption reasons. Its like having a second battery, which is great, as my Droid Razr M doesn't have a removeable battery.

I have been to restaurants with a group where our service was absolutely shitty. The bills came with the automatic "party of 6 or more" gratuity on it, and we called the Manager immediately. We explained that the service had been terrible (which was true) and that we felt that the server didn't deserve a tip after…
