Some of it could be you're oily because you don't want to be oily. You wash your hair and get rid of all the oil on the scalp protecting your skin. So your scalp makes as much as i…

There's AOBiome, which makes Mother Dirt, which I use. Anecdotally it works to reduce my smells and need for deodorant and soap/shampoo for body/hair washing & hygiene. Always wash…

Smart phones existed before the iPhone; Apple/Jobs just made them orders of magnitude better. Tablets have existed before the iPad; Apple/Jobs just made the first one the market fe…

I thought Google axed Gmail Labs a while ago... Turns out there's more than one Labs in Google, and they're killing off some other one. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-…

Any chance of adding a 'save' feature? I clicked through from your blog to the board, saw an interesting job or two, and now I either have to email myself the links, or hope I reme…

The annoying thing about the chip in my AmEx is that the charge shows up as "Expresspay Blue" on my statement, instead of showing up as the merchant ("Best Buy" or what have you). …

Today I learned patio11 does design consulting, and is not just the bingo card guy. Interesting article. Thanks (to both you and Fog Creek) for writing it up!

I'd be interested in the once-a-month cooking. Especially your recipes.

This is what I do. Now I just need my phone to auto-realize it's in the car and start playing music over Bluetooth or something to the car stereo. Too bad I have an iPhone - if I h…

The shower is utterly routine for me, but I also never get ideas there. It's sad - I feel like I'm missing out on something. My best idea generator is the walk away from my desk & …

Why are you only taking Vitamin D if you believe "an ounce of prevention's worth a pound of cure"? Shouldn't you be taking a multi-vitamin, at least, in order to hit all the other …

Does it tell you the chance of rain? I have a motorcycle; I only have one weather question in the morning - can I ride today? Rain is pretty much the only thing I care about, and I…

Yep. Quite a few use those same rage faces. Reddit really ought to just implement that themselves and let subreddit mods turn it on or off, since they're getting so popular.

C/C++ highlighting is also a bit underwhelming; it's only coloring constants, comments, and strings. Kewords, precompiler directives, etc are ignored.

Easter is the holiday, and it's on Sunday. I'm pretty sure the Pope doesn't care much what people do the day after Easter (or the day after that).

How many people have been at the last few?

Reddit does this, and it works well. They allows subreddits to be styled as the mods like and give the user an option to disable the custom styling globally. The Reddit Enhancement…

Recruiters raise signal to noise ratio? All I ever hear is how they horribly fudge resumes and job posts in order to make applicant and company interested in each other and get the…
