I can find Rishi at our local co-op store so that's where I usually get it. But it can be found on Amazon for pretty decent prices as well. They have an awesome Chai blend.

From what I was just researching between the different websites listed, it seems that Adagio has the best prices as well (when comparing per ounce price of the same type of tea). I've ordered Rishi tea before and I can find it at local stores as well as Amazon. They have a great selection of loose leaf tea available.

That is a cool map, the problem with it though is that it shows cellular companies as ISP's having coverage at my house. But I don't want to pay Verizon a bunch of money for a small data cap each month. The shows 5 providers available, 3 of which are cellular.

Where the heck in WI can you get Time Warner AND Comcast cable? All we have available is Charter or Frontier DSL. Both of which suck.

WI is also considered to be awesome for broadband, but at my house I'm either stuck with paying $60 a month for cable, or $40 a month for 3mbps DSL. Not a whole lot of options. Unless you live in downtown Milwaukee things might be different, a few people I know have Uverse and it's not that impressive at $70 a month…

This is why I keep hand santizer at my desk.

You literally cannot kill an old Nokia brick. Nokia kills you.

lol it was off a boat dock I guess. Oops.

I once had an old LG flip phone that I let a friend borrow for a while after I upgraded. After a week of using it he jumped in a lake and forgot it was in his pocket. Dried it out and it worked fine after that. Two weeks later he puts the phone through the wash, and the dryer. It came out still working fine. Wow I…

When going on a long car trip and the necessity to stay overnight at a hotel comes up, what I usually do is pack a smaller backpack with a few bathroom essentials and a change of clothes, and phone charger in it and any other smaller necessities. This way you don't have to haul your giant suitcase packed with 50…

I'd like to see articles on how to build furniture, or custom cabinetry. Along those same lines, restoring old furniture or refinishing. Every once in a while I see an old dresser or something at a garage sale that could use some cleaning up and restoring. Also any sort of home maintenance. As the owner of a home from…

I'm really excited for this blog, as I love to tinker, work around my house, fix stuff, and break stuff :) Welcome to the Lifehacker team, I feel like some of the posts on your personal blog may have been referenced here before for some reason. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this!

This does seems to be a great topic for a sub-blog actually. You guys cover a lot of diy stuff around here! So does this mean that the normal DIY coverage will continue on the normal LH blog or will everything just appear here and be cross-linked back?

Wow I saw my original post was from nearly two years ago, so this must have been republished and updated since then. Since I wrote that, I've upgraded my EDC light to a single AA LED flashlight with an output of 100 lumens. Brighter, better battery life, and small and light enough to keep clipped to my pocket every…

Woodmans liquor department FTW! Woodmans is scary after 11PM most nights, so go during a week day, and avoid weekends unless you want to get trampled.

I had to click the link because that totally sounds like a Wisconsin thing. Everyone clicking on the map just brings up the general region, not the locale.

Madison, WI has one of the largest farmers markets in the U.S. I believe it is every Wednesday and Saturday from April through October. Great place to find a good deal on produce, cheese, meat, honey, bread, flowers, etc.

I'd argue that drinking more makes you not even care that the mosquito's are biting you.

Just don't rely on the police for your sole protection. They are "second responders" as in they respond to a crime that has already been committed (i.e. breaking and entering or home invasion) the first responder in this case would be the home owner. It is up to the home owner to call 911 asap and to stop a threat…

This should just be one layer in your home security. A security system is just a deterrent for normal thieves. Add in a dog and you have another deterrent. People just don't want to bother with making noise and drawing attention. Basically just make your house appear to not be worth their time and effort to break in.
