I don’t understand why people would. While I might not celebrate the holiday of Christmas, there is an actual day called Christmas. Telling me to have a Merry Christmas is pretty much like saying “Have a wonderful Wednesday” (though obviously more sincere). It’s a nice sentiment. And I like telling my coworkers to…

Because you voiced it as fact instead of opinion.

I assumed it was supposed to be a double meaning...

Now On Tap is also misleading because you don’t actually tap anything, you hold the home button.

Thank you for this podcast. It’s mature, pithy and fun... A rarity in podcasting and definitely in video game podcasts. I listen to each episode the day it comes out. Keep it up!

Just a nitpick... IR thermometers are nearly useless for cooking. They only give surface temperature. If you are using it to temp meats you are going to have a piece of charcoal before the IR thermometer reads the recommended (internal) cooking temps.

If you are vomiting or are still nauseated drag yourself (or better yet, have someone take you) to the local urgent care center. When you check in explain your symptoms and ask for a Zofran while you wait. It is an amazing anti-nausea/anti-vomiting tablet you put under your tongue and works within 5-10 minutes.

The best book I ever read on being more assertive and less afraid of starting a discussion on something that is bothering me. It really helped me to talk to those in a position of power (mainly bosses/supervisors) rather than just let the anger grow inside me. I’ve reread it many times.

Not a huge feature but I was surprised that the built-in apps like Calendar, Mail and People actually let you sync with Google now. Now at least there is a small chance I might use them.

A long time ago I “circled” an Android reporter on Google+. I have since uncircled him because he seems to have rated every app 5 stars. But he is seemingly permanent in my Google Play experience. Is there a way to get rid of him? Or have Google Play just show me one circle? I am more interested in what my friends…

Diamond City Surplus. This is inside Fenway Park (lights facing inward and Nuka-Cola sign is where the Coke-a-cola sign is now)

Hopefully they will make it better than automatic passwords in Chrome which save your user name and password in the clear.

I had an interview with a start-up that just received a ton of VC funding a month or two back. The job was for tech-support/customer service. My interview was with three guys - at the same times. The guys were almost half my age and had literally just become millionaires a few weeks ago and they had the smugness of…

In-store I was amazed how easy it was to get Fry's to price match Amazon. I recently built a new PC and wanted a specific video card. I found it on the shelf at Fry's and brought it to an employee who verified that Amazon was cheaper, he typed in his computer for 5 minutes and gave me a print out to bring to the…

The reaction I get when I show people clips of WRC is always "Holy shit how is this not on TV?"

This looks like what I hoped Godus would be

It's self-help more than nonfiction if we are talking bookstore categories but When I Say No I Feel Guilty changed my life and is definitely lifehackery. I was sick of getting walked all over by people and this book taught me how to stand up for myself and not be embarrassed for voicing my opinions or wants.

Evernote has a dedicated recipe app... Evernote Food! It find recipes in your Evernote whether they are images, text or clipped webpages and formats them in a useful way.

One of the main reasons for using alcohol is for deglazing. If you put meat in a hot pan it gets a real nice char on the meat. It also leaves some really nice morsels on the pan. These bits get super concentrated with flavor because it gets real hot and a lot of the water comes out in the form of steam. Without…

BeyondPod is my favorite. Tons of options (which may be daunting to a casual user/listener) and the latest beta (http://www.beyondpod.mobi/Android/BETA/) gives it a good polish that was missing before.
