Two words; channel mixer.

I'm currently working on a recruitment video for a police department in my town. One of the female officers asked if I would try to include some content that would help recruit more women. She didn't have any ideas right off the bat about it, however. Do any jezzies have any ideas or suggestions that might help…

@Phoshi: Bullseye.

@dchall8: I don't know where you're driving, but I know I-90 in Eastern Washington is 200 miles of flat, blank boringness. Time and distance don't seem to exist, it's just endless. The GPS, I think, helps by giving me a very precise way to measure my exact progress, which makes it not feel quite as damn long. …

Long-distance driving miracle snack: Beef Jerkey. My wife and I actually discovered it one year during a lonnnng holiday trip to Mexico (delayed flights, no sleep the night before). By the time we got to our first stop we were both just completely wiped out, and we still had another 9-12 hours before we'd get to our…

@Cherry Blossom Girl: We PNWers get all the crazies.

VOTE: Google

@bluebears: No no, come on now, let's be fair. He aired a bunch of Hitler-related footage and then started talking about Obama, but prefaced it with "Of couse, Obama is not like Hitler," just that Obama was a proponent of eugenics and was going to murder Beck's daughter with cerebral palsy.

@enYallione: Yeah, I'm hoping a company calling itself Environmentally Conscious Organization, Inc. isn't going to destroy its own green innovations by making them too costly to license.

@morninggloria: The sad thing is I'd normally consider that satire, but these days it doesn't take a leap of imagination to see how it could be true. :\

@TheOtherHalf: Chocolate in very small doses has been thought to ease breathing of rats with respiratory infections. I've used very small pieces of dark chocolate in the past to ease a rat's breathing to buy time on the way to the vet, and it does seem effective.

@JWiser: We also buy ourselves a few fractions of a second to think about what we're about to say. That's the nice thing about rehearsed filler, you can think about your answer/statement while you're already talking so you don't sit there for an extra half-second looking like you're slow. That's why I do it, at…

@Salvar: Simple, contact a local breeder. There are several types of Blue rats. However, that's referring to coat color, which is more of a silvery grey-blue than a true blue, they still have the pink fleshy skin tone. I had one, Remy, an incredibly sweet boy who sadly passed away shortly before his first birthday…

@Hulu Blocking: This is why we can't have nice things. :(

@rsmoker: It'll be like watching the USA Network and having what is almost an entirely different show (and a distracting one at that) playing at the bottom the whole time.

Wouldn't anything having to do with MS Paint be an anti-lifehack? Especially when dead-simple programs like Paint.NET are available free? I think I'd rather VNC into my home computer and use Photoshop on my crap connection. Or are MSPaint skills all about the ePeen?

@Shawn S: Holy S—- I loved that game. My sister did too, she named her first dog Aurora Revolution because of that one move by whatsherface.

Funny, I just learned about Ponoko last night and when I saw this I said to myself "That'd be a perfect product for Ponoko" and then I looked at the link.

@unojack: Until we reorganized our home office, my wife and I had a decent webcam aimed at our primary whiteboard. I'll set it up again soon, but anyway, it took a picture every 10 minutes during our normal work hours and stored it away when we weren't working on it a lot, but when we were working on it for a project…

I had a portrait of a friend's mother who passed away a couple years back that we wanted to enlarge and put up at her funeral. Unfortunately, while it was a nice photo, she was wearing a sweater that came out as having absolutely no texture and everything else felt just as flat, it was pretty poorly lit overall. …
