Removing it is much easier. A fire axe was probably involved.

Were the seagulls around the 1:30 mark already full from the all-you-can-eat buffet, or do they not eat crab? Too much work?

The original author installed an extra low bar in her closet so the shoes hang just off the ground. It doesn't have to share space with your clothes.

It's plutonium. I think I read that they've got another 12 years of power before it stops sending information back.

Oh, I actually don't like that. Like if I'm really enjoying a paper book, I tend to actually slow down so I can savor it more as I know I'm getting towards the end. With ebooks I'm often surprised when I hit that last page. (Even worse if it's a major cliffhanger, cause I didn't realize I had to prepare myself for it…

Ahha, that's good information. I've never tried to use my iPhone through a ziplock so for some reason I was under the impression it wouldn't work. Although the waterproof bag I use at the beach is pretty thick so I don't know if that would make a difference.

Well, I have the Nook with Glowlight, which is the best for me since it has the light and the touchscreen and physical buttons. I'm just surprised that they would take some of the functionality away, especially when one of the major selling points of the e-ink devices are that they can be used in direct sunlight…

Does the capacitive touch screen mean that one wouldn't be able to use it in a waterproof bag while reading on the beach/in the pool? Not even any physical page-turn buttons like the Nook has. That would be a dealbreaker for me.

Anything over a month and I'm happy. I won't pick a 2-month device over a 1-month device if there are other reasons to pick the 1-month.

I'm not a writer at all, but I love seeing articles like this about the writing process. It's interesting to think about some of my favorite authors' novels and see what kind of drafts and steps they may have gone through to get it to that point. (One more reason I love Brandon Sanderson, who is so very open about his…

Not the same thing, but I didn't even have a chance to visit my dad in the hospital when he had a heart attack. They did an angioplasty and inserted 2 stents and sent him home less than a day later. These days they can be pretty confident they've "fixed" the problem (like with a pacemaker too, I'd think) and can send…

God, "The Finder." Such a depressing ending they ended up having. That show had so much promise, with wild swings in episode quality. The books were fascinating too, with a much different feel than most mystery/thrillers I've read.

I use this site to keep track of when my shows are airing: http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/

I have heard from a lot of people that they don't experience any additional eyestrain when reading on their tablets vs. e-ink vs. a real book. I think the last point you make in the article is the most important one - if your eyes are getting tired, take a little break - focus on something in the distance for a…

This article is saying to buy your tickets in late Aug/Sept or late Dec/Jan, for travel some other time. The "8 weeks out" is from a different model and article.

That one's current. There's synchronized 3m and platform for both the men and women. Ex. http://www.olympic.org/diving-synchronized-diving-3m-springboard-men

I think it's because you're jailbroken. I'm not, and it does not comes up when I search for it. Good to know, though.

Oh crap, now I am NEVER going to be able to hear Gollum as anything else. Thanks for that.

No kidding. I just watched this episode over the weekend. I guess maybe it will be okay as long as the particles aren't actual tiny mirrors and can't be controlled by remote from the ground?

I thought the men couldn't wear chest-suits anymore? I thought I had read that the new rules said the most coverage allowed was waist to knees for men, and tank top (no sleeve) and down to the knees for women. But I agree it's a good thing these athletes are flexible otherwise they'd probably never be able to get them…
