I converted my home office to a standing desk about a year ago and now I won't turn back. @ work, I still have a sit down desk at my office, but I'm in and out of meetings more of …

Maybe we need to have a Godwin's Law for Ponzi schemes.

Leave it to the WSJ to exemplify the behavior of people with an erratic gene variation as something "Elite" (or L33t, lol).

Good luck guys! It's nice to see that there's a tech / startup scene getting going in Minnesota.

I'm curious to find out what you guys / gals think about this. Is this just a fear tactic? Or, does ATT have a legit way to check if you're doing unauthorized tethering. Any of you…

For some reason, I kept thinking of how this headline would read if it was an Onion article. "Soulless executive loses job, discovers she's a human being."

ars technica had a very recent and in-depth article about the Rise and Fall (and re-rise?) of the genre. Definitely worth a read: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2011/01/hist…

I'm hacking my pantry. Right now, making chicken stock by using leftover carcasses from whole chickens that I cut-up myself in the last few months. Will freeze the stock to keep it…

I had a chance to sample the Octomore while visiting Bruichladdich this year. Holy crap that stuff is like drinking liquid fire. Does not have the smooth finish like Lagavulin 16, …

I'd recommend streaming 89.3 The Current from Minnesota Public Radio. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/ It's fully independent music radio station that's…

I'm kinda shocked that no one in this discussion has mentioned Fahrenheit 451 . It's a very close approximation of the of the two realties depicted in the comic strip. Definitely w…

Has anyone tried this? I've been thinking of getting one but am curious to how well it erases or if it succumbs to a "ghosting" effect over time.

I'd say not only spy movies. There is an obvious affection for Middle Earth as well. Even a corner office is called Rivendell! He should just legally change his name to Saruman and…

I'm hoping he's trying to be facetious in this article because the only "ineffective habit" that I see in this article is #1. And, I could argue that is not always a bad thing beca…
