VOTE: Swiftkey. Best Keyboard for Android. Hands down.

I grill at least twice a week in the summer. It is nice being outside enjoying the heat, and you don't heat up your house! One thing I love to make (not exactly an entire meal but more of a snack) is to use the blender and make smoothies! They are cold and refreshing. Summer is when you get the best produce, so blend…

3 lane rolling road block. Nuff said.

My friend has the same setup, only his desktop is in the basement. Only thing on the desk is 3 monitors, USB hub for plugging things in, and wireless keyboard and mouse. It looks awesome not having cables ran everywhere!

I have had the same desktop case for more than 5 years. When I originally built my PC, I invested in a quality case that can offer me the flexibility I needed for upgrades in the Future. This system is now on its 3rd motherboard upgrade and 3rd CPU, and 2nd video card. I just replaced the power supply and got an SSD a…

I've never used Plex before, but it looks really nice I'll have to try it out sometime. Excellent Guide by the way. I've used your previous guides on setting up a media center PC and recently got that working with xbmcbuntu that connects to my Synology NAS where all my media is stored. Pretty decent setup. I love…

My router is an old spare desktop I had laying around that I installed PFSense on. It has been rock solid for over a year since I replaced my old Netgear router. Easy to setup and install, and it has a great web interface and is very powerful. I have a closet in my basement with a couple extra routers I had laying…

I keep all my camp kitchen supplies in a single sealed plastic tote container. It really helps with organization when you segment camping supplies by their usage or by "room". This idea seems like a good idea if you will be camping in the same spot for several days and need quick access to everything.

I must say, after my wife pulled one of her lenses out of the bag and noticed that the UV filter had a crack through it, I was certainly glad I spent that $7 for the filter! I'm convinced it saved that lens from being injured.

That is a nice tool you have built into this article! Usually I just have to search for stuff like this! Quite handy for a few of the more common items.

Great advice. I have a Samsung TV with an RS232 serial port. I currently have like 5 remotes for all of my devices connected. Didn't know if Harmony remotes support RS232 or if you had to use an IR blaster for everything. I'll have to look into it.

hah! Thats exactly what I thought when I saw the title on the side. There are plenty of people on lifehacker enough every single day that more than one person usually catches these things.

I have definitely seen this before. I took a picture of a coworkers car at the place I used to work at a couple of years ago. fast food wrapers filling the entire back seat of his Ford Focus, from the floor to the windows! Wish I still had the picture, but this isn't as uncommon as one might think. Disgusting, but not…

I've had mixed results with PB Blaster or brake cleaner for light rust. Doesn't really leave a nice shine though. For really rusted stuff, I've placed rusty tools in a bucket of straight CLR for a couple days, then scrubbed with steel wool. After that, wipe clean and dry. To protect tools from getting rusty again,…

I LOVE my Gin and Tonics. You can use diet Tonic water and a spash of lime to save on calories over regular tonic.

I usually work about 45 to 50 hours during a typical week. Although in the field of IT, I have had it where I've worked 18 hours straight in one day, and put in nearly 80 hours in a week, but this is rare.

In a pinch, I've frothed milk heated up in a microwave with a wire whisk. Takes a couple of minutes of manual stirring but same result.

I didn't even have a printer at my house for the longest time up until a couple months ago when I got an old one from a friend for free. The only thing I print is pdf maps of the trails and parks that I will be hiking at. Its nice to keep a hard copy on me if I'm out and my phone dies or whatever. Other than that I…

I usually keep cotton balls or dryer lint balls with vasalene on them in a ziploc bag. Same effect, and the ziplock keeps everything dry as well. Easier than stuffing a straw I would think.

Wow, that guy's list actually has a lot of similar items I take with me on camping and backpacking trips. With the exception of the radiation meter. I don't think I need that when backpacking or hiking.
