The trick I learned in culinary school: wet hands, apply soap, sing The Happy Birthday Song twice while scrubbing, rinse.

I love Swappa for selling (and buying) devices. You get a little bit more since it's user to user and they charge $10 only when the device sells. They have smart use of the PayPal API so you can see if the buy or seller has a confirmed address, etc. They allow you to search by SIM locked/unlocked and bootloader…

Wet paper towels work just as well and is what I was taught in culinary school.

Don't get me wrong. I think it's a good idea for the motorcyclists that do it safely and in true stopped traffic.

I actually think it was an anti-smog thing (less engines idling needlessly). I can't imagine air cooling being the reason. Here in Texas motorcycles aren't allowed to drive between lanes when traffic is congested like they can in California. It is a lot hotter here than in California (on average) and I don't see or…

By blooming saffron in water you also disperse the flavor and avoid the "hey I got a thread in that bite and all I taste is saffron"

This makes me think of Paper Mario. While not necessarily bad, i might not be the style the average Joe likes.

A lawyer. Being able to say "Can you give the name of someone I can ask about XYZ..." at best results in free/cheap legal advice or at worst, the name of someone who knows more about the subject and is legit (who will usually give you a free consultation if you say "I got your name and number from so-and-so").

If you want lots of options and features I highly suggest BeyondPod (a new version is about to come out). If you want simple and pretty: Pocket Casts

DriveDroid lets you use your Android phone's USB connection to create a bootable ISO for your computer. Super handy for emergency computer repair.

I am not in support of large companies taking artists work off the internet and using it (of which there have been quite a few examples in the past two years) but as a Boston native I had a hard time realizing his reworking of the MBTA's map was not official. I think this was a mistake and they simply took the better…

Amen RuPaul!

Not a voice command per se but you can also just hit the microphone button while music is playing. It will recognize it is music and a musical note button will appear. Hit that and it will tell you what the song is (as well as a link to buy it on Google Play)

I can see the Red Sox picking him up in 2 years as a "low cost, high reward" acquisition.

At my part time job at a promotional products company I use a Mac G4 with MacOS X (whatever version is the highest one that is supported on a G4) with Adobe CS2

I'm in the process of moving from Spotify to Google Play Music All Access (could they give it a longer name?). I've been waiting for this from Google for a long time and I'm super excited. However one aspect of it baffles me: How am I supposed to use My Library vs. Thumbs Up. In Spotify I created a massive list of…

I am one of those people. I am a graphic designer at a promotional products company. I have begged my boss for an upgrade from a Mac G4 with CS2 but nothing happens. It is too much and all at once for him to do it (we are a small company with 5 employees). Maybe a new Mac and $50/month for CC will work out better...

Oh man... I spent a long time trying all the major To Do apps for Android and finally settled on Astrid. It had more features than I needed but had all the ones I wanted and had a nice level of polish on it. Back to square one.

I use tasker to turn on and off bluetooth and connect to the correct speaker based on conditions that fit when its on my nightstand (night time, on my wifi, plugged into AC) or in my car (USB power, on it's side)

Honestly Play/Pause is the only button I use in the notifcation pulldown for BeyondPod
