Ask about crime in the area. A lot of apartments of an "incident" book that lists dates and times of crimes in the area. Take the time to look through the book if you can.

I don't understand, according to my math I have to work 58 days a month to break even.

I've found that 1up mushrooms are the perfect size to hold a serving of peanuts: [www.amazon.com]

Pesto is a great add on for sandwiches. It might be a little expensive to buy it in a jar, but you can make it yourself if you have a food processor.

I wish they'd list more PC components. I could really use a new PSU, but I'm extremely poor right now.

This has been a bad month for MS. First that bit about MS China stealing from stealing code from Plurk, and now this.

I'd rather pay a small fee for a small group of shows than pay a larger fee for access to a network. Maybe $1 per show per month or something. Then instead of spending $30-$60 a month or more on shows I don't care about, I could spend $3 on the shows I do.

Welcome to another edition of "The Top ______ Tool People Have Heard About the Most."

I'm so signing up for that phone call from Santa.

I think Google Wave has a lot of potential, but right now it is too slow, buggy, and lacking in features to be considered the "best" collaboration tool.

I think this addition goes well with their new "strip you of all illusions of privacy" feature.

What would the change be if you cut your internet browsing in half as well?
