REI is my favorite toy store. I know their prices are higher than, say, Wal-Mart, but I actually feel good supporting them. Plus, you can find insanely good sales if you're a member and you go to their garage sales. One year I got an

Why don't they just do it the way WinAmp did it? You actually produce a single shuffled result of your entire playlist and then just go through it in order. It means that every song will eventually get played, and you won't have

I tried using this and got really excited when I thought I found some options that were grossly mispriced (indicating that I could buy them, immediately exercise them, and make a hefty profit). Turns out that Yahoo just has bad data someti

I highly recommend bookbub.com for building up your own (e-book) anti-library. Every day you get an email with a bunch of $1-3 books. I usually end up buying at least a couple of them, because hey, $2. So now I've got a massive back

What makes you say that about Taleb? I mean, dude's got a huge ego, but he seems to back it up pretty well.

Yeah, I knew about that, but I wanted a way to see historical data so people would know "the light will probably be on at these times". It uses the same API.

Problem: I don't know when the optimal times to go to Krispy Kreme for hot donuts are. Solution: http://hotdonuts.info/ And yes, this is the most important problem in the world.

Just a side note: I always take issue with the "brains aren't fully developed until 25" factoid. What does "fully developed" even mean? We certainly learn things after the age of 25...isn't learning brain dev

There's a certain zen in being able to enjoy doing your chores. I think learning to change yourself so you don't dread chores is important self-work.

Gotcha. I used to be like that but something in me flipped and now I generally like to be around people...although I definitely need "alone time" or I get cranky and irritable.

Well, there you go. You just explained why you don't like going out; it's because you don't like being in situations with lots of people around. I'm personally not like that (used to be, but with a lot of effort, got ov

Does anyone else actually enjoy going to the grocery store or walking to a local place to pick up food? What, exactly, are people doing that gives them so little free time that this is necessary? And why aren't people talking to each

I hiked 400 miles of the AT and while you're technically right, I found that cooked food made me feel better, having a shelter (I hammocked) made my sleep more restful, and I couldn't trust myself not to accidentally wipe my ass w

Damn straight. The aquatic center is still in use at GA Tech. And Tech also got a lot of new housing from the Olympic Village, and a nice new student center. The Olympic Stadium turned into Turner Field, which will now be a stadium for GA

I don't really care whether it's legal. It's just a bad idea, morally and realistically. Alienating people is what turns them into terrorists. To paraphrase a line from "Legally Blonde" (I know I'm really he

I take Vyvanse every day and it really helps with this. It's basically adderall, but instead of being released all at once, it's slowly metabolized into an amphetamine by your liver. Some people have horrid experiences with it (

Honestly if I were you I'd probably go for a long camping trip, like for a week or two. Or failing that, a vacation to some natural beautiful place. Then cut down your hours. 40 hours a week is fine, and if someone tells you otherwis

SimpleNote for most things. Workflowy for more structured things. And I have a Huawei Watch that runs Audio Recorder so I can take little notes to myself when I don't have time or hands to write something down.

All they need to make the mobile app perfect, IMHO, is the ability to add bookmarks to your home screen for various sections in the hierarchy.

Thank you for writing this. I use a password manager, and whenever I see someone say "it's unhackable because of the encryption" I want to tell them this, exactly. All someone needs to do is to surreptitiously send your pas
